20080316317 | OPTICAL ALIGNMENT OF CAMERAS WITH EXTENDED DEPTH OF FIELD - A method for calibration of an imaging device that includes a sensor and optics for forming an image on the sensor. The method includes making a first image quality measurement, based on an output of the sensor, while imaging a first target at a first distance from the device and varying an offset between the optics and the sensor. A second image quality measurement is made while imaging a second target at a second distance from the device, which is different from the first distance, and varying the offset between the optics and the sensor. A working point of the optics is set relative to the sensor responsively to the first and second image quality measurements. | 12-25-2008 |
20090141163 | COMPACT CAMERA OPTICS - Imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, which is adapted to generate an input image in response to optical radiation that is incident thereon. A processing engine is configured to apply a digital filter to the input image so as to generate a filtered image, the digital filter having a kernel, which has a kernel width that is greater than five pixels. An optical assembly is arranged to focus the optical radiation onto the image sensor with a point spread function (PSF) such that no more than a first threshold percentage of energy emitted from a point object and focused by the optical assembly falls within a first region of the image sensor having a first width that is five times the pitch of the image sensor, while at least a second threshold percentage of the energy emitted from the point object and focused by the optical assembly falls within a second region, which contains the first region and has a second width corresponding to the kernel width. | 06-04-2009 |
