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 |

20120236174 | Methods and Systems for Flicker Correction - Techniques for detecting and addressing image flicker are disclosed. An imaging device that senses a distorted image and subsequently removes the distortion during processing can utilize an analysis module that obtains statistics indicative of image flicker prior to removing the distortion. An imaging device that features a diode for illuminating a field of view can utilize the diode as a photosensor to determine one or more flicker statistics to determine whether ambient lighting conditions are of the type that cause image flicker. | 09-20-2012 |

20130314587 | Multi-State Electrostatic Actuator and Digital Camera Therewith - An actuator that operates by electrostatic attraction and repulsion and can have fixed and moving electrodes is disclosed for one or more embodiments. The fixed and moving electrodes can be inclined relative to each other at an acute angle. The actuator can be radially symmetric and mirrored about the moving electrode. The moving electrode can have a central aperture over which is placed an optical element such as a lens. The optical element can be part of an optical train that permits the focus of an electronic camera to be modified by changing the displacement of the lens along the optical axis of the camera. | 11-28-2013 |
