Abstract
In conventional multichannel imaging systems, all channels have similar imaging properties [field-of-view (FOV) and angular resolution]. In our approach, channels are designed to have different imaging properties which add multiresolution capability to the system. We have experimentally demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, a three-channel imaging system which simultaneously captures multiple images having different magnifications and FOVs on an image sensor. Each channel consists of four aspherical lens surfaces fabricated from four PMMA plates by ultraprecision diamond tooling and of a baffle made from a titanium (Ti) and aluminum (Al) based metal alloy. The integrated imaging system is able to record a FOV of 7.6° with the first channel and 73° with the third channel while having a magnification ratio of about 6 between them. The experimental and simulation results, specifically the FOV and magnification ratios, are comparable, and this paves a way for low-cost, compact imaging systems which can embed smart imaging functionalities.
