Novel Cameras


Novel Camera Development

These projects involve the development of technologies for defining the next generation of digital cameras. Several different types of novel camera designs, based on ideas from PhD students, are intended to improve limitations of current cameras, such as field of view, depth of field, dynamic range. The hardware developed allowed the imaging concepts to be experimented with to improve the theoretical designs in a laboratory setting.

Split Aperture Camera Development

This experimental camera was developed to allow several sensors to view the same scene at the same time and from the same viewpoint. It uses …

Multi-Sensor Camera

This experimental camera platform was developed to experiment with a novel beam-splitter using a mirrored pyramid. This enables the image coming in from the lens …

Nicam Development

Nicam (Non-frontal Imaging Camera) is able to produce 360-degree panoramic images with all objects in focus, regardless of their distance from the camera. These panoramic …

Sloped Nicam

This version of the Nicam camera allows the system to be completely self-contained. It includes an embeeded computer, LCD monitor, touchpad and high capacity memory …

Remote Nicam

This smaller system was designed for limited space applications and can be mounted in any orientation. It can be interfaced and controlled by any PC. …
