Designing the Optical Structure of a Multiscale Gigapixel Camera

Abstract

We derive 28 optical structural equations based on our two previous theoretical and experimental papers about a gigapixel camera, which were published in 2013 and 2015 respectively. Utilizing these 28 equations, we are able to obtain an integrated understanding of optical structure for a multiscale gigapixel camera system, in addition to obtaining numerical values for structural parameters very directly and easily.Keywords: Giga pixel camera, Multiscale, Monocentric objective, Microcamera lensOCIS codes: (080.0080) Geometric optics; (080.2468) First-order optics; (080.2740) Geometric optical design; (080.3620) Lens system design
