I actually had no knowledge of plenoptics or 4 or 5d representations of light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4D_light_field#The_4D_light_field before I made this post. But it seems like, for a lensless camera to work, it would have to be able to measure, or infer the 5D characteristics of each...

So it seems that there is some degree of consensus that the most effective way of solving the problem is by using multiple lenses at various locations to estimate the "light field", using something like a plenoptic camera, (here: http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/lfcamera/), and then...
