    Abstract: Aspects relate to an array camera exhibiting little or no parallax artifacts in captured images. For example, the planes of the central mirror surfaces of the array camera can be located at a midpoint along, and orthogonally to, a line between the corresponding camera location and the virtual camera location. Accordingly, the cones of all of the cameras in the array appear as if coming from the virtual camera location after folding by the mirrors. Each sensor in the array “sees” a portion of the image scene using a corresponding facet of the central mirror prism, and accordingly each individual sensor/mirror pair represents only a sub-aperture of the total array camera. The complete array camera has a synthetic aperture generated based on the sum of all individual aperture rays.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for optical image stabilization of thin cameras are disclosed. An image stabilization system for a camera system includes a stabilization platform configured to support a camera system, a camera housing, a fulcrum rotationally and pivotally connecting the stabilization platform to the camera housing, the fulcrum configured such that the stabilization platform can tilt and rotate relative to the camera housing in at least one of the pitch, roll, and yaw directions, at least one gyroscope rigidly connected to the stabilization platform, and at least one actuator coupled to the stabilization platform and configured to cause tilting or rotation of the stabilization platform in at least one of the pitch, roll, and yaw directions.

    Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for aligning a lens assembly and a sensor assembly of an optical system during assembly of the optical system. For example, one method includes positioning the sensor assembly, having at least an image sensor, at the focal plane of the lens assembly and directing light through an alignment optic and lens assembly onto the image sensor. The method further includes producing multiple images from the light received through the lens assembly and alignment optic, the images having multiple alignment features based on the light received through the alignment optic, and the alignment features having multiple sections. The method then measures at least one performance indicator corresponding to each of multiple sections, and adjusts the position of the image sensor based on an optimization of the performance indicators, while the sensor assembly is being attached to the lens assembly.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices that employ a plurality of image sensors to capture a target image of a scene. As described, positioning at least one reflective or refractive surface near the plurality of image sensors enables the sensors to capture together an image of wider field of view and longer focal length than any sensor could capture individually by using the reflective or refractive surface to guide a portion of the image scene to each sensor. The different portions of the scene captured by the sensors may overlap, and may be aligned and cropped to generate the target image.
