Flexible Multimodal Deformable Imaging Device

Abstract

A flexible multi-mode deformable imaging device is provided, which includes a plurality of imaging units, a support body and a fluid chamber, the support body supports the plurality of imaging units, a part of the chamber wall of the fluid chamber is formed by the support body, the support body It can be deformed under the action of pressure. When the pressure inside the fluid chamber is not equal to the pressure outside the fluid chamber, the support body has a curved surface, and multiple imaging units are arranged on the curved surface. At least two imaging units have different viewing angles. When the fluid When the pressure inside the chamber is equal to the pressure outside the fluid chamber, the support body has a plane, and multiple imaging units are arranged on the plane, the viewing angle directions of the multiple imaging units are the same and the fields of view of at least two imaging units partially overlap. The imaging device switches between a high-resolution imaging mode and a wide-angle imaging mode. The overall structure of the imaging device is simple, and the arrangement of multiple imaging units can be continuously and accurately regulated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of imaging technology, in particular to a flexible multi-mode deformable imaging device. Background technique [0002] In some cameras, the performance of a single imaging unit is limited, so it is difficult for the camera to achieve high-resolution imaging or wide-angle imaging. [0003] As an improvement, in some cameras, multiple imaging units are integrated and arranged closely to form an array. Through the overlap of multiple fields of view and post-image processing, the effect of "staring" can be achieved, that is, high-resolution imaging can be achieved. Provide support for long-range ultra-high-definition imaging. In addition, in some compound eye cameras designed by imitating the compound eyes of insects, multiple imaging units are integrated on the hemispherical surface to achieve wide-angle imaging, which improves the range of detection and detection.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] High-resolution imaging and wide-angle imaging are two key performances that are concerned in practical applications, and it is difficult for the same camera to have both performances

There is currently a lack of an imaging device that can easily switch between the two imaging modes
