摘要： Providing for a fixed focus optical system exhibiting extended depth of field is provided herein. By way of example, a compact and fast optical system that yields an asymmetric modulation transfer function (MTF) is disclosed. In some aspects, the asymmetric MTF results in extended depth of field for near field objects. Such a response can be particularly beneficial for small handheld cameras or camera modules having high resolution. According to some disclosed aspects, the resolution can be about 8 mega pixels. Additionally, the optical system can comprise four lenses in one aspect and five lenses in another, while remaining below about 5.3 mm total track length (TTL) for the respective systems. In at least one application, the disclosed optical systems can be employed for a high resolution compact camera, for instance in conjunction with an electronic computing device, communication device, display device, surveillance equipment, or the like.

摘要： An image capturing device (1) is disclosed comprising an electronic image detector (17) having a detecting surface (15), an optical projection system (5) for projecting an object within a field of view onto the detecting surface (15), and, optionally, a computing unit (19) for manipulating electronic information obtained from the image detector (17), wherein, the projection system (5) is adapted to project the object in a distorted way such that, when compared with a standard lens system, the projected image is expanded in a center region of the field of view and is compressed in a border region of the field of view. Preferably, the projection system (5) is adapted such that its point spread function in the border region of the field of view has a full width at half maximum corresponding essentially to the size of corresponding pixels of the image detector (17).

摘要： Different distances of two or more objects in a scene being captured in a video conference are determined using an auto-focus sweep of the scene. A depth map of the scene is generated based on the auto-focus sweep. At least one of the objects is identified as a foreground object or a background object, or one or more of each, based on the determining of the different distances. The technique involves blurring or otherwise rendering unclear at least one background object or one or more portions of the scene other than the at least one foreground object, or combinations thereof, also based on the determining of distances.

摘要： A lens system is provided that comprises an enhanced depth of field based on a uniform or near uniform relative illumination via a lens with a large distortion. The distortion can be corrected with image processing equipment. The lens system can comprise an aperture stop and a group of lens, wherein there can be about five lenses in the group of lenses. The lens system is designed for relative illumination such that the light distribution over the lens system is substantially uniform.

摘要： Different distances of two or more objects in a scene being captured in a video conference are determined based on applying a face model to a detected face within a digitally-acquired image. At least one portion of the scene other than the face is identified as comprising a background object that is a different distance from the video camera component than the face. The technique involves blurring or otherwise rendering unclear the background object.

摘要： An actuator that operates by electrostatic attraction and repulsion and can have fixed and moving electrodes is disclosed for one or more embodiments. The fixed and moving electrodes can be inclined relative to each other at an acute angle. The actuator can be radially symmetric and mirrored about the moving electrode. The moving electrode can have a central aperture over which is placed an optical element such as a lens. The optical element can be part of an optical train that permits the focus of an electronic camera to be modified by changing the displacement of the lens along the optical axis of the camera.
