The multi-image capture system comprises an imaging lens, a beamsplitter directing a first portion of light on an array of micro-imaging elements and a first photodetector array divided into a plurality of macropixels providing a set of depth images, and another portion of light on a second photodetector array 6 providing a main image with a resolution being higher than the resolution of each basic depth image. According to the invention, the resolution of the depth images is increased by using the image data of the main image.
