  • Publication number: 20250314947
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230090281
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050094993
    Abstract: An auto-metering system for use in a film camera having an automatic film advance system is provided. The auto-metering system has a sprocket wheel having a support member arranged so that when the automatic film advance system advances film, the sprocket wheel is rotated, with the sprocket wheel having a gear engagement surface and a reduction gear engaging the gear engagement surface of the sprocket wheel. The reduction gear has a lobe thereon, and is adapted to move the lobe between a first position to a second position with said movement between the first position and second position occurring at a different rate than the rate of rotation of the sprocket wheel. A metering switch is located at the second position. The metering switch changes between a first state when the cam is not at the second position and a second state when the cam is at second position. A control circuit controls operation of the film advance system based upon to the state of the metering switch.
