  • Electronic imaging system and sensor for use therefor with a nonlinear distribution of imaging elements
    Patent number: 5739852
    Abstract: An electronic imaging system for capturing an image comprising a lens and an imaging sensor. The lens produces an optical image. The imaging sensor has a surface in optical communication with the lens, for converting the optical image into a corresponding output signal. The imaging sensor includes a plurality of imaging elements, the plurality of imaging elements having a distribution on the surface representable by a nonlinear function. The distribution of imaging elements has a relatively low density at a center point of the surface and a relatively high density at a point along a periphery of the surface.
