Imaging len 200 will be from the photoimaging of object point near the assigned address on the optical axis.Imaging len 200 has round the shape of symmetrical also passable.In addition, imaging len 200 can be an example of the imaging portion in this invention.In addition, imaging len 200 can be the lens combination that is formed by a plurality of optical elements.
The light that 106 pairs in diaphragm portion sees through optical system 100 Jiao that contracts.In the example of this figure, diaphragm portion 106 is arranged between at least one optical element of imaging len 200 and modulating sections 104.In other the formation, diaphragm portion 106 is arranged on more also more passable by object side than arbitrary optical element of imaging len 200 and modulating sections 104, is arranged on more also more passable by light accepting part 170 sides than arbitrary optical element of imaging len 200 and modulating sections 104.
Optical system 100 by 104 pairs of light of modulating sections from object point give with round the corresponding phase differential of the angle of optical axis, with not to give from the light of object point with round the situation of the corresponding phase differential of the angle of optical axis relatively, just will be because of the difference reduction of the size of the diffusion of the caused light from object point of the difference of the distance of distance object point.Particularly, optical system 100 is by the phase modulation (PM) based on modulating sections 104, will be from object point light by not relying on apart from the mode of the distance of object point and with constant substantially size diffusion.More specifically, with regard to the optical transfer function of optical system 100, will serve as that constant size spreads substantially with distance from the light of object point with respect to the distance object point.About the optical characteristics of modulating sections 104, it is associated with the later figure of Fig. 2 A and with aftermentioned.
As shown in the figure, optical system 100 is by realizing also passable as different optical element modulating sections 104 and imaging len 200, that have an above-mentioned optical characteristics separately.In other forms, the function of modulating sections 104 and imaging len 200 is realized also passable by an optical element.In addition, the optical characteristics of optical system 100 can be by realizing also passable according to the designed a plurality of optical elements of the mode of the synthesizing optical characteristic with modulating sections 104 and imaging len 200.
Light accepting part 170 is accepted through the object light after the optical system 100.Light accepting part 170 has a plurality of imaging apparatuss, these a plurality of imaging apparatuss by two-dimensional arrangement on the face vertical with the optical axis of optical system 100.A plurality of imaging apparatuss are accepted respectively through the light after the optical system 100.
In addition, the imaging apparatus that light accepting part 170 is had is that the imaging apparatus of CCD type is also passable, is that cmos type imaging apparatus is also passable.The image pickup signal of representing the light income of each imaging apparatus is supplied to image processing part 180.In addition, light accepting part 170 is as the image pickup part of making a video recording by optical system 100 subjects is played a role.
Image processing part 180 generates image according to image pickup signal.Image processing part 180 generates digital picture by carrying out the A/D conversion from the image pickup signal of each imaging apparatus respectively.And image processing part 180 generates the revisal images, and this revisal image is to make image after the some picture diffusion based on optical system 100 in the image that a plurality of imaging apparatus makes a video recording is able to revisal according to the point of optical system 100 as intensity distributions.
For example, to generate the revisal image also passable by image being applied inverse filter based on the optical transfer function of optical system 100 for image processing part 180.Image processing part 180 is by applying the revisal processing based on the optical transfer function of optical system 100 to the image of being made a video recording, the object point picture after will spreading via optical system 100 is recovered to a picture in the revisal image.Like this, image processing part 180 generates according to optical system 100 optical transfer functions and makes in the image revisal image after iconic element based on the diffusion of light is able to revisal.Like this, via the shot object image that optical system 100 has been blured, in the revisal image, be recovered to distinct picture.
The revisal image that efferent 190 outputs are generated by image processing part 180.For example, the recording medium of 190 pairs of document images of efferent output revisal image also can.The outside output revisal image of 190 pairs of camera heads 110 of efferent also can.For example, image such as revisal such as output such as the output device of 190 pairs of PC of efferent, printer, display etc. also can.
In addition, the imaging characteristic of the optical systems 100 such as diaphragm aperture of the position of control part 120 control optical systems 100, diaphragm portion 106.In addition, to control the focal length (also claiming focal length) of optical system 100 by the position of control imaging len 200 also passable for control part 120.

Fig. 2 A, expression imaging len 200 1 examples.By imaging len 200, the incident ray of being represented by line 250a just becomes the emergent light of being represented by line 250b, and images in the imaging point 280 on the optical axis 202.240 expressions of x axle 230 and y axle are the coordinate axis on the imaging surface of initial point with imaging point 280.In addition, draw the boost line 210 of drawing, the boost line 220 parallel concurrently with x axle 230, schematically show the boost line 290a and the b on imaging len 200 surfaces with y axle 240, be to be used for the boost line that imaging len 200 shapes represented in summary, the actual imaging len 200 of expression is not possessed.Among this figure afterwards too.In addition, in the later explanation, illustrated optical axis 202 directions are the z axle.
What Fig. 2 B represented imaging len 200 defocuses (defocus: also claim out of focus) characteristic.Figure 260a~e on this figure upper strata with the pupil function of imaging len 200 sets up expression accordingly with different defocusing amounts.Phase differential is represented with concentration in figure 260.Here, the phase differential of a wavelength amount is represented by a group of black and white.In addition, in the present embodiment, defocusing amount is represented from the paraxial image planes of imaging len 200 to the side-play amount of estimating till the image planes.
For example, as if being the figure 260c of 0 o'clock pupil function, be 0 at full field phase differential as can be known then with reference to defocusing amount.On the other hand, if the figure 260e of the pupil function when being 2Z0, then produced the phase differential of about two wavelength range degree as can be known with reference to defocusing amount.
In Ben Tu lower floor, the figure 270a~e of the point spread function of imaging len 200 (PSF) sets up expression accordingly with different defocusing amounts.For example, be the figure 270c of 0 o'clock point spread function with reference to defocusing amount, then as can be known as the pupil function of graph of a correspondence 260c is represented, from the photoimaging of object point for a bit.On the other hand, as other figure 270a, it is such that b, d, e represent, along with the size increase of defocusing amount, and fuzzy also increase.
Like this, since based on the shot object image of imaging len 200 for along with the fuzzy picture of defocusing amount.Therefore, when the existing subject of different distances was made a video recording, those shot object images were fuzzy in the fuzzy mode different along with distance, so, even shot object image is restored, also can there be the subject that is not recovered to distinct image by identical wave filter etc.
Fig. 3 A is the figure that an embodiment of modulating sections 104 schematically is described.Modulating sections 104 has a plurality of surface configurations round optical axis 202 configurations of the unit component prism of the later associated explanation of figure.Light behind the constituent parts component prism that has through imaging len 200 back and through modulating sections 104 is not to carry out some imagings, and in shooting face on the circle that leaves predetermined distance from initial point (intersection point of shooting face and z axle) with shooting hand-deliver fork.
For example, light 550a, light 550b, light 550c and light 550d represent respectively through the light behind the different unit component prisms, and these light are respectively at position 580a, position 580b, position 580c, and position 580d and shooting hand-deliver fork.And the light through behind the same units component prism intersects in position near each other in shooting face.It is measurable if the fully little then picture of unit component prism is approaching circular.If this some picture is identical for cardinal principle for defocusing amount, then the optical transfer function of optical system 100 can be considered as with respect to object point distance speech is that cardinal principle is constant, and can substantially restore by the shot object image that inverse filter will be present in different distances.About the effect of the unit component prism shown in this figure, with reference to Fig. 4 A, Fig. 4 B, Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B carry out following explanation.
Fig. 3 B is illustrated in the out of focus characteristic of the optical system 100 in the embodiment of modulating sections 104.Here, modulating sections 104 has 16 of the unit component prisms of the associated explanation of Fig. 3 A.
On this figure upper strata, the figure 560a~e of the pupil function of optical system 100 sets up expression accordingly with different defocusing amounts.Here, figure 560 is to be described with the same mode of describing of the figure 260 of the represented pupil function of Fig. 2 B.With reference to figure 560, the striped apperance changes along with the variation of defocusing amount, still, if compare with the figure 260 of Fig. 2 B, we can say that the shape of striped apperance has been able to abundant maintenance.
In Ben Tu lower floor, the figure 570a~e of the point spread function of optical system 100 (PSF) and defocusing amount inequality are set up expression accordingly.If with reference to figure 570a~e, then as Fig. 3 A associatedly illustrated qualitatively, point spread function had the luminous point corresponding with the constituent parts component prism (spot).And, even the position of each luminous point and size almost do not change when defocusing amount changes yet.Therefore, for image, can obtain its distinct shot object image by the inverse filter that uses appointment sometimes in the different existing subject of distance of distance optical system 100.
Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B are the synoptic diagram that the optical characteristics of optical system 100 schematically is described.This figure is illustrated in by being inserted with in the imaging len 200 formed light paths in the x direction and makes light under the situation of the prism 300a that light staggers.Light 350a by imaging len 200 specified point on optical axis under the situation that does not have prism 300a, because the existence of prism 300a and its direction deflection, the some 380a in shooting face on the X-axis intersects.
Represent perspective view to the plane parallel with X-axis on Fig. 4 B upper strata.Represent perspective view in Fig. 4 B lower floor to the plane parallel with the y axle.By shown in these figure as can be known, light 350b the x direction from optical axis 202 leave and in the y direction towards optical axis.Therefore, light 350b can not approach optical axis 202 below predetermined distance, can not depart from significantly from optical axis 202 yet.Like this, light 350a is by being converted in some sense round optical axis 202 around such light 350b through imaging len 200 and prism 300a.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B represent the state based on the light of the optical system of the structure that is inserted with prism 300b in the formation of Fig. 4 A again.Prism 300b disposes by the form that makes prism 300a round optical axis 202 rotations.By the light 360a of imaging len 200 towards optical axis, its direction deflection by prism 300b, the some 380b in shooting face on the x axle intersects.
Figure on Fig. 5 B upper strata and Fig. 4 B upper strata is same, represents the perspective view to the plane that is parallel to the x axle.In addition, same at the figure on Fig. 5 B lower floor and Fig. 4 B upper strata, represent perspective view to the plane that is parallel to the y axle.As the associated explanation of Fig. 4 B, light 350b is by being converted in some sense round optical axis 202 around such light 360b through imaging len 200 and prism 300b.
Having represented among Fig. 3 B, modulating sections 104 has the surface configuration that has disposed behind a plurality of unit component prisms as prism 300a, prism 300b as Fig. 3 A.Also be appreciated that to make from the explanation of relevant Fig. 4 A, Fig. 4 B, Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B and hold the diffusion shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B from the light of object point and incide shooting face by modulating sections 104.
Here, under the situation that the constituent parts component prism is littler and the unit component prism is closely aligned of modulating sections 104, just depict circle perpendicular to the cross section of z axle and through the intersection point of the light behind the unit component prism.The size that should justify along with advancing and diminish along the z direction of principal axis in the position in cross section, slowly becomes big when surpassing the z direction position of regulation in the position in cross section.In other words, measurable through the light group after the modulating sections 104, form the surface that narrows down and expand at leisure thereafter along with advancing along the z direction of principal axis.Therefore, by designing the unit component prism fully for a short time, thereby optical system 100 can will spread with identical substantially size by the mode that does not rely on apart from the distance of object point from the light of object point.
Fig. 6 A represents other embodiments of modulating sections 104.If the unit prism with regulation inclination that the associated explanation of Fig. 3 A is such is countless round optical axis 202 configurations, then form optical element as shown in this figure like that round the shape of optical axis 202 its thickness monotone variation.Modulating sections 104 as this invention, the modulating sections 104 that has illustrated except Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B be associated, the optical element that can illustration as optical element, at the phase differential of monotone variation in complete all scopes of optical axis, be given as a kind of form with this shape.
Other embodiments give that Fig. 6 B represents modulating sections 104 with the dependent example of rotation angle of phase differential.This figure represent 104 pairs of processes of modulating sections be the footpath vector potential of the regulation light give of putting apart from modulating sections 104 centers with phase differential.In addition, so-called rotation angle is meant rotation angle round optical axis 202 in the later explanation.As shown in the figure, modulating sections 104 gives proportional substantially phase differential with rotation angle θ.Maximum phase differential is represented that by 2n π n is a positive integer.
Like this, modulating sections 104 can according to the light from object point is given with round the corresponding phase differential of the angle of optical axis.Particularly, modulating sections 104 gives with respect to round the angle of optical axis and the phase differential of monotone variation.More specifically, modulating sections 104 gives with respect to round the angle of optical axis and the dull phase differential that increases.For example, modulating sections 104 give with round the directly proportional substantially phase differential of the angle of optical axis.
Fig. 6 C represents the out of focus characteristic of optical system 100 of other embodiments of modulating sections 104.On this figure upper strata, the figure 660a~e of the pupil function of optical system 100 and defocusing amount inequality are set up expression accordingly.Here, figure 660 is by describing with the same mode of describing of the figure 260 of the pupil function shown in Fig. 2 B.Under the situation of reference figure 660, though the striped apperance also changes along with the variation of defocusing amount, when comparing with the figure 260 of Fig. 2 B, the form of striped apperance has obtained sufficient maintenance as can be known.
In Ben Tu lower floor, the figure 670a~e of the point spread function of optical system 100 (PSF) sets up expression accordingly with different defocusing amounts.Under the situation of reference figure 670a~e, as Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B etc. relatedly illustrated qualitatively, point spread function was circular.In addition, for the size of the figure 270 mid point pictures of Fig. 2 B changed significantly along with the variation of defocusing amount, the size of annulus not too depended on the variation of defocusing amount among figure 670a~e of this figure as can be known.Therefore, even be the subject of different distance, also can obtain this shot object image sometimes by the inverse filter that is suitable for regulation for being present in apart from optical system 100.
Fig. 7 A, Fig. 7 B and Fig. 7 C represent modulating sections 104 variation.In this figure expression modulating sections 104 in cross section perpendicular to the cross section institute projection of optical axis, the field that imaging characteristic is inequality has been represented in field 700~704.The inclination of each field 700~704 its anglec of rotation direction is inequality mutually in the modulating sections 104 of this variation.
Fig. 7 B represent modulating sections 104 give with the example of dependence of angle of phase differential.This figure represented to through apart from modulating sections 104 centers be the field of vowing scope, the footpath of regulation light give with phase differential.As shown, the field 704 of modulating sections 104 gives proportional substantially phase differential with rotation angle θ, and maximum phase differential is 2n π at n during for positive integer.The field 703 of modulating sections 104 gives proportional substantially phase differential with rotation angle θ, and maximum phase differential is 2m π at m during for positive integer.Wherein, establish m<n.Other field 700~702 give with phase differential give proportional substantially phase differential too with rotation angle θ, maximum phase differential is that the positive integral multiple of 2 π is also passable.
Like this, 104 pairs of modulating sections are passed through respectively apart from the light in the distance of optical axis a plurality of fields 700~704 inequality, give respectively with respect to the phase differential round the angle monotone variation of optical axis.In addition, a plurality of fields 700~704 in the modulating sections 104 at least any, to the light of process give with other field give with the phase differential of the different dependence of angle of the dependence of angle of phase differential.It is also passable that a plurality of fields 700~704 in the modulating sections 104 all give the phase differential of the dependence of angle different with other the dependence of angle of the phase differential that the field gave to the light of process.For example, a plurality of fields 700~704 give respectively with the differential value of relevant angle of phase differential, difference mutually.Have again, the size of the rate of change of phase differential, from optical axis further from the field of position bigger also passable.
Fig. 7 C is illustrated in the modulating sections 104 out of focus characteristics in the variation.On this figure upper strata, the figure 760a~e of the pupil function of modulating sections 104 sets up expression accordingly with different defocusing amounts.Figure 760 is by drawing with the same mode of describing of the figure 260 of the pupil function shown in Fig. 2 B.
In Ben Tu lower floor, the figure 770a~e of the point spread function of modulating sections 104 (PSF) and defocusing amount inequality are set up expression accordingly.Under the situation of reference figure 770a~e, when comparing with the point spread function that Fig. 6 C is showed, its annulus thickening.And under the situation with reference to figure 770a~e of this figure, the size of annulus and thickness rely on for the variation of defocusing amount hardly as can be known.Annulus thickness in this variation is to be obtained by the synthetic of the characteristic in 700~704 each field, field, we can say to be in the dispersed state of light in some sense.
With reference to figure 770a~e of this figure, the size of annulus depends on the variation of defocusing amount hardly as can be known.Therefore, even for being present in, also can being suitable for the inverse filter of regulation sometimes and obtaining its shot object image apart from optical system 100 subject for different distances.
In addition, with reference to the figure 670 shown in Fig. 6 C, the thickness attenuation of annulus is in the intensive state of light in some sense.For this cause, for the variation of the defocusing amount of the size of annulus and variation in thickness of annulus and so on, anti-sometimes out of focus becomes lower.On the other hand, with reference to figure 770, because annulus becomes thicker, so even how much change the variation of such defocusing amount with respect to the size of annulus, the thickness of annulus, anti-out of focus is also than higher.
