Definitions

  • the use of multiple lenses may increase the focal length of the camera and thus increase the camera's FoV as done for optical zoom lenses when more resolution is desired and likewise when the FoV is desired to be wider the focal length can be decreased.
  • the use of multiple lenses across the field of view of the system can increase the total effective resolution across the entire field of view of the multi-camera array (also referred to as the "synthetic aperture").
  • the embodiments presented herein, as examples, are based on using an imaging sensor square pixel array where the pixel pitch is 1.1 ⁇ and the pixel fill factor is 100%.
  • the embodiments and examples described below therefore are based on the Nyquist rate of 454 per mm.
  • a square aperture width such as 1.1 ⁇
  • sampling MTF roll-off can be calculated.
  • the diffraction limit can be increased further to compensate for the sampling MTF roll-off so that at the Nyquist rate the lens MTF roll- off plus the sampling MTF roll-off will produce a net 20% MTF altogether; or some other slightly less MTF level as the case may be.
  • the senor 125, cover glass 126, lens L6, and the unit including the refractive prism 136A and/or block 136B may be adhered or otherwise affixed in the illustrated configuration such that these components are fixed together relative to one another within the camera.
  • these components may be permanently, or semi-permanently fixed together such that their positions with respect to one another stay the same, which stabilizes the optical path of light through the elements.
  • the movable lens systems 115, 130 may be used to focus the portion of the target image which is directed toward each sensor.
  • the auto focus assembly for the movable lens systems 115, 130 can include an actuator for moving the lens among a plurality of different lens positions.
  • the actuator may be a voice coil motor (VCM), micro-electronic mechanical system (MEMS), or a shape memory alloy (SMA).
  • the autofocus assembly may further include a lens driver for controlling the actuator.
  • each camera has a total height H.
  • the total height H can be approximately 4.5 mm or less. In other embodiments, the total height H can be approximately 4.0 mm or less. Accordingly, a height of the movable lens systems 115, 130 also does not exceed the height H.
  • the height H can be also be higher than 4.5mm.
  • Autofocus module 255 can include instructions that configure the image processor 220 to adjust the focus position of each of cameras 215a-215n, for example by controlling the movement and positioning of corresponding autofocus assemblies.
  • Autofocus module 255 can include instructions that configure the image processor 220 to perform focus analyses and automatically determine focus parameters in some embodiments, and can include instructions that configure the image processor 220 to respond to user-input focus commands in some embodiments.
  • the lens system of each camera in the array can be focused separately. In some embodiments, the lens system of each camera in the array can be focused as a group.
  • Device processor 250 may write data to storage module 210, for example data representing captured images. While storage module 210 is represented graphically as a traditional disk device, those with skill in the art would understand that the storage module 210 may be configured as any storage media device.
  • the storage module 210 may include a disk drive, such as a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, optical disk drive or magneto-optical disk drive, or a solid state memory such as a FLASH memory, RAM, ROM, and/or EEPROM.
  • the storage module 210 can also include multiple memory units, and any one of the memory units may be configured to be within the image capture device 200, or may be external to the image capture device 200.
  • the storage module 210 may include a ROM memory containing system program instructions stored within the image capture device 200.
  • the storage module 210 may also include memory cards or high speed memories configured to store captured images which may be removable from the camera.
  • the guide rail or other suitable devices as described herein can serve to reduce or restrict tilt or translational errors from the ideal optical axis of the LI to L5 lens assembly 705 with respect to the fixed unit comprised of the senor prism, L6 and the image sensor.
  • Figure 8C illustrates an example of a movable portion 1503 of the camera 1500 including a guide rail 185, movable portion 130 of the lens system including lens surfaces L1-L5, and an actuator contact member 1506.
  • the movable lens assembly 130 can include a number of lenses shaped and positioned to provide the desired focus length.
  • the particular lens configuration shown for the movable lens assembly 130 is meant to provide an example, and any lens configuration capable of maintaining good image performance while moving within the tolerances of the folded optic system can be used.
  • a key advantage of folded optics is that position indicators can be used such that an appropriate process can make use of this information. There may be more room for such position indicators within the lens assembly 1000A and/or 1500. There may also be more room within the array camera housing holding one or more cameras. Such position indicators can be placed on the housing and/or assembly substrates like that shown in or on 1004, as shown in Figure 5.
