1. A method for calibrating an array camera including a plurality of imaging components, the method comprising: capturing an image of a test pattern using the array camera wherein each of the plurality of imaging components of the array camera captures an image from a particular viewpoint; generating scene independent geometric corrections for the image data captured by a first one of the plurality of imaging components in the array camera using data of the image of the test pattern captured by the first one of the plurality of imaging components and data describing the test pattern using a processor; generating a corrected image of the test pattern for the first one of the plurality of imaging components based on the scene independent geometric corrections for the image data captured by the first one of the plurality of imaging components and the image of the test pattern captured by the first one of the plurality of imaging components using the processor; and generating scene independent geometric corrections for the image data captured by a second one of the plurality of imaging components using the data of image of the test pattern captured by the second one of the plurality of imaging components and data for the corrected image of the of the test pattern of the first one of the plurality of imaging components using the processor.
