Abstract: An optical sensor system that includes a master lens, an optical diffuser, and a plurality of optoelectronic devices. The master lens is positioned on the vehicle to observe a field of view about the vehicle. An optical diffuser is located proximate to a focal plane of the master lens. The diffuser is configured to display an image of the field of view from the master lens. A first optoelectronic device generates a first video signal indicative of images on a first portion of the diffuser. A second optoelectronic device generates a second video signal indicative of images on a second portion of the diffuser. The optoelectronic devices may be sensitive to distinct ranges of wavelength. The second portion substantially overlaps the first portion such that the image captured by the first optoelectronic device is substantially the same as the image captured by the second optoelectronic device.

Abstract: A multi-view image system that includes a single camera configured to capture an image, and a transreflective device. The transreflective device is operable to a transparent-state where light passes through the transreflective device to provide the camera a first image of an area from a first perspective. The transreflective device is also operable to a reflective-state where light is reflected by the transreflective device to provide the camera a second image of the area from a second perspective distinct from the first perspective. The system may also include a minor arrangement that cooperates with the transreflective device to provide the camera the first image when the transreflective device is in the transparent-state, and the second image when the transreflective device in in the reflective-state.

Abstract: A camera suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes an imager-device, a lens-module, and an array of light-guides. The imager-device is operable to determine an image and includes a plurality of light-detecting pixels. Each pixel is overlaid with a micro-lens. The lens-module directs light from a field-of-view of the camera toward the imager-device. The array of light-guides is interposed between the lens-module and the imager-device, and is arranged so each instance of light-guide is aligned with a corresponding instance of micro-lens. Each light-guide is defined by a lens-end and an imager-end. The lens-end of each of the light-guides cooperates to define a planar-surface of the array, and imager-end of the light-guide is characterized by an angle selected to direct light within the light-guide toward the corresponding instance of the micro-lens. The angle is determined based on a chief-ray-angle (CRA) of light from the lens-module impinging on the lens-end.

Abstract: An illustrative example device for controlling a direction of radiation includes a source of at least one beam of radiation. A plurality of optical components in a pathway of the at least one beam of radiation establish a first direction of the at least one beam of radiation. The plurality of optical components includes at least one adjustable optical component that includes at least one portion that is moveable relative to the source. A positional feedback feature on a portion of at least one of the optical components deflects at least some of the at least one beam of radiation in a second direction that is different than the first direction. A detector is situated to detect at least some of the deflected radiation and provides an output indicative of the first direction.

Abstract: An image system configured to record a scanned image of an area. The system includes a single two-dimensional (2D) imager and a rotatable mirror. The 2D imager is formed of a two-dimensional (2D) array of light detectors. The 2D imager is operable in a line-scan mode effective to individually sequence an activated line of light detectors at a time. The rotatable mirror is configured to rotate about an axis parallel to a plane defined by the rotatable mirror. The rotation is effective to vary an angle of the rotatable mirror to pan a projected image of the area across the 2D imager. The angle of the rotatable mirror and the activated line of the 2D imager are synchronized such that the scanned image recorded by the 2D imager is inverted with respect to the projected image.
