Disclosed are systems, methods, and structures for monocentric multiscale gigapixel imaging systems and cameras employing a Galilean architecture wherein adjacent subimages do not overlap while advantageously producing a reduced system volume, improved relative illumination and image quality as compared with prior art systems.

Systems and methods for implementing array cameras configured to perform super-resolution processing to generate higher resolution super-resolved images using a plurality of captured images and lens stack arrays that can be utilized in array cameras are disclosed. Lens stack arrays in accordance with many embodiments of the invention include lens elements formed on substrates separated by spacers, where the lens elements, substrates and spacers are configured to form a plurality of optical channels, at least one aperture located within each optical channel, at least one spectral filter located within each optical channel, where each spectral filter is configured to pass a specific spectral band of light, and light blocking materials located within the lens stack array to optically isolate the optical channels.

A portable image-forming device includes a housing, an exposure member for exposing an instant film disposed inside of the housing by means of a light radiating from the screen of a portable display device, a shading member linked in movement with the exposure member so as to shade the instant film, a traction member connected to the exposure member so as to move the exposure member to a pre-exposure position, and a developing-agent-spreading member for spreading a developing agent, which is provided on the instant film, over the entire instant film. The traction member and the developing-agent-spreading member are manually operated by a user.
