Imaging System Using Shared Optics and Aberration Exploitation

Abstract

The resolution of a camera system determines the fidelity of visual features in an image. Higher resolution implies greater fidelity, and thus greater accuracy when performing automated vision tasks such as object detection, recognition, and tracking. However the resolution of any camera is fundamentally limited by geometric aberrations. In the past it has generally been accepted that the resolution of lenses with geometric aberrations cannot be increased beyond a certain threshold. In this work we aim to overcome this limitation and demonstrate very high resolution imagery for aberrated lenses through the use of hybrid optical and image processing design.
