Pelican Imaging's advances in computational imaging have enabled a new type of light field camera: mobile! Going beyond megapixels, the Pelican array camera provides complete depth information of the captured scene, allowing users to refocus after the fact and perform an unprecedented range of edits. Focus on any subject, change focus (even on multiple subjects) after you take the photo, capture linear measurements, scale and segment your images, change backgrounds, and apply filters, all from any device.
At under 3mm thickness, Pelican's array camera is about 50% thinner than current smartphone cameras. It is the first mobile plenoptic camera to capture video, 30 fps at 1080p resolution.
The Pelican camera architecture is designed with no moving parts, which enables the user to take an immediate first shot, followed by very rapid sucessive shots. Every scene is captured in complete focus, which means that there are no missed shots -- every picture is perfect.
