摘要:
Imaging systems and methods for calibrating imaging systems are provided. The imaging system has a body, a scene image capture system that captures images using a taking lens system that can be set to a plurality of different focus distances, and a rangefinder that is capable of determining a distance between the imaging system and at least one portion of a field of view of the taking lens system. The method comprises: automatically capturing a first calibration image of a first field of view through the taking lens system with the taking lens system set to a first focus distance setting; identifying a portion of the first calibration image having a predetermined degree of focus; using the rangefinder to determine a first calibration distance from the imaging device to the identified portion. A focus correlation is determined based upon the first calibration distance and the first focus distance setting.

An imaging device for generating a digital image of a scene comprises an image sensor, an optic, and one or more actuators. The image sensor comprises an array of photosensors. The optic is operative to at least partially direct light rays from the scene onto this image sensor so that an image of the scene is created on the image sensor. The one or more actuators are operative to move at least one of the image sensor and the optic while the digital image is generated so that the incoming light rays from the scene are distributed over the photosensors of the image sensor in such a way as to limit spatial frequencies in the image of the scene created on the image sensor to values below a Nyquist frequency of the image sensor.

A filter system for an imaging apparatus including a high resolution mode of operation and a low resolution mode of operation is provided. The filter system includes a low pass filter associated with an optical path of the imaging apparatus. The low pass filter is moveable into the optical path of the imaging apparatus when the imaging apparatus is in the low resolution mode of operation and is moveable out of the optical path of the imaging apparatus when the imaging apparatus is in the high resolution mode of operation.

An electronic camera for producing an output image of a scene from a captured image signal includes a first imaging stage comprising a first image sensor for generating a first sensor output and a first lens for forming a first image of the scene on the first image sensor, and a second imaging stage comprising a second image sensor for generating a second sensor output and a second lens for forming a second image of the scene on the second image sensor, where the lenses have different focal lengths. A processing stage uses the sensor output from one of the imaging stages as the captured image signal and uses the images from both imaging stages to generate a range map identifying distances to the different portions of the scene.

A method for operating an autofocus system for focusing an image on an electronic imager includes providing an adjustable lens system defining an optical path for scene light and having at least one movable lens to focus an image of the scene onto the electronic imager; and causing a first portion of the scene light to be obscured so that the electronic imager captures a first autofocus image and causing a second different portion of the scene light to be obscured so that the electronic imager captures a second autofocus image wherein portions of the first and second autofocus images are offset. The method further includes moving the movable lens to a position so that an image to be captured will be in focus.
摘要:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for providing Moire distance and displacement measurements of a diffusely reflective surface of an object or support. More particularly, a first grating is physically located, formed, or printed on the diffusely reflective surface. An image of the first grating is formed on a second grating by an imaging means for generating a Moire pattern behind the second grating. At an initial position of the diffusely reflective surface relative to the imaging means, the periods of the image of the first grating and the second grating match. Movement of the diffusely reflective surface in a direction normal thereto and away from the initial position produces a spatially varying intensity pattern caused by the Moire between a shifting and changing magnified pattern of the image of the first grating and a pattern of the second grating. The temporal intensity changs in the Moire pattern are detected and are used to produce information related to the instantaneous distance and displacement of the diffusely reflective surface from the initial position.

A Moire distance measurement technique for measuring the distance that a diffusely reflecting surface moves involves projecting a first grating onto the surface, imaging the projected grating onto a second grating to form a Moire pattern, and measuring a change in the Moire pattern as the surfaces move to determine the distance that the surface has moved.
