Publication number: 20230388642Abstract: A multicamera panoramic imaging system having no parallax. In an example, the multicamera panoramic imaging system includes multiple discrete, imaging systems disposed in a side-by-side array, wherein a field of view of each discrete, imaging systems is conjoined with a field of view of each adjacent discrete imaging system, further wherein a stencil of chief rays at the edge of the field of view of any one of the discrete imaging systems will be substantially parallel to a stencil of chief rays at the edge of the field of view of any adjacent ones of the discrete imaging systems such that all of the substantially parallel stencils of chief rays appear to converge to a common point when viewed from object space. A method for forming an image of an object having no parallax.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Circle Optics, Inc.Inventor: Zakariya Niazi

Publication number: 20230152672Abstract: A low parallax imaging device includes a plurality of imaging lens elements arranged to capture adjacent fields of view. In some examples, adjacent imaging lens elements may contact at datum features to maintain a desired spacing. The spacing may allow for partial overlapping of low-parallax volumes associated with the respective imaging lens elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2020Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Thomas Bidwell, Christopher M. Muir, Eugene Sisto, Andrew F. Kurtz, Allen Krisiloff, John Bowron, Zakariya Niazi, Robert Stanchus, James Mazzarella, Robert Baldino, Deanan DaSilva, Jose Manuel Sasian-Alva, Charles E. Brugger

Publication number: 20230090281Abstract: This application generally describes an imaging system, such as a multi-camera imaging system. The imaging system can include a plurality of channels and individual of the channels can include an objective lens and a relay optical system. The object lens images received light on a first image plane, as a first image, and the relay optical system images the first image on a second image plane, as a second, magnified image. In examples, the object lens and the relay optical system make up an optically coherent system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Andrew F. Kurtz, John Bowron, Zakariya Niazi, Allen Krisiloff, Christopher M. Muir, Robert Stanchus
