Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method may include receiving, by at least one processor, imaging results produced in one shot with a microlens array. The method additionally may include generating, by the at least one processor, virtual image distance maps for two or more colors based on the imaging results. The method also may include storing, by the at least one processor, the virtual image distance maps in a memory accessible to the at least one processor. The method further may include projecting images, by the at least one processor, based on the virtual image distance maps. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
