ABSTRACT:
A technique is provided for removing blurring from an image captured by an imaging device. The imaging device may include a lens and an imaging medium comprised of a plurality of imaging pieces. According to an embodiment, a distance is determined between individual imaging pieces of the imaging medium and a region on the target object that corresponds to the respective individual imaging piece. The image of the target object is captured on the imaging medium. Blurring is removed from the captured image using the distances identified for the individual imaging pieces.
