This is so far omnidirectional viewing and I have just listed the various
approaches that we are discussing under this topic.
Another direction is large depth of field, in which you want to be able
to image in clarity all different depths, not just only the front direction,
but all the front depth also. Typically you can have in a regular camera
either the background in focus or the foreground in focus, like here.
But you would like ideally to see all things in focus. What we would want
to do is to take use a regular cameras for example and get an image like
this, an image like this and perhaps many other images, in which different
parts of the scene are in focus and then collect, combine them into one
where everything is in focus.
This is the goal of large depth of field imaging.
