Array Augmented Parallax Image Enhancement System and Method

An array augmented parallax image enhancement system and method is used for creating an artificially large depth of field behind images of detritus, or obscurants, to augment spatial in-filling of the obscured pixels in the desired target image. A plurality of relatively small aperture cameras produces a plurality of raw video streams. An obscurant identification module detects and maps the obscurants. A spatial averaging module replaces the obscurants with target image pixels in an output video stream that is produced by combining the plurality raw video streams.
