Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging device includes an image pixel array and a plurality of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) Alvarez tunable lenses disposed over regions of the imaging pixels. The MEMS Alvarez tunable lenses are configured to be adjusted to varying optical powers to focus image light to the plurality of imaging pixels at varying focus depths. Processing logic is configured to drive the plurality of MEMS Alvarez tunable lenses to provide varying optical powers to focus the image light to the imaging pixels during a plurality of image captures with the imaging pixels.
