Simultaneous imaging of multiple targets using an electrowetting prism array integrated with a camera
Abstract
We propose to use electrowetting optics technology for simultaneous imaging of multiple targets, integrated with a camera and MEMs mirror. We will combine a conventional camera with an individually addressable electrowetting prism array to enable flexible illumination of a region of interest, as well as illumination of individual objects with beamlets. The method allows imaging multiple areas with the ability to image through different depths simultaneously. Additionally, a curvature of half of the beamlets can be altered to image regions of interest in two different depths at the same time, which allows for monitoring activities across different fields of views at Hz - kHz rates. The proposed system will enable a variety of light-field applications for detection and tracking of objects, including estimating the 3D distance of the object and applying superresolution to enable object detection. -Approved for Public Release
