Smart Camera Subsystems Size, weight, power and cost per captured pixels are critical factors. Cost per pixel must account for processing, storage and broadcast costs, in addition to camera costs. DISP array cameras focus on radical reduction in SWaP and cost per pixel.
Smart Camera Optics Due to limited aperture size diffraction and Geometric aberration Geometric aberration free Luneberg lens
Discrete Luneberg lens Performance of two layered Luneberg lens approximation
Challenges for spherical focal surfaces • Curved image sensors are not available • Focus is over non-planar manifold Focusing motion
Discrete microcameras array • Utilizing mass produced CMOS sensor • Focusing independently Monocentric multiscale (MMS) architecture
System comparison The information density of the MMS architecture is ten times even more than hundreds times larger than traditional lens architecture.
Potential Improvemetns Microcamera with high complexity Too big and bulky. Far from the physical limit Vignetting over the overlapping field
Galilean multiscale design Negative power group for aberration cancellation Eliminating vignetting

Future Cameras Aqueti proposes a “system camera” using families of microcameras arranged to address various imaging requirements. The parallel microcamera approach enables much greater capacity per unit camera volume and much lower cost than the conventional approach. The sensor is integrated with the lens at manufacturing and never separated thereafter. • “System cameras” use families of lenses to address various imaging requirements • -FoV • -ifov • -zoom
