ABSTRACT:
A camera has a single lens and multiple flash units distributed around the lens. A set of images is acquired of a scene with different controlled lighting applied by the flash units, one at the time. The images are stored in a memory, and then combined to produce a single stylized image of the scene from the acquired images.
