Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the array camera of the related art, the dead zone 112' occupies an excessively large area, and the imaging pixels are not high, and because the dead zone 112' is too large, the size of the entire array camera is too large, which is not convenient for the miniaturization and cost reduction of related technical products. change

Embodiment approach

[0019] Such as Figure 3-4 As shown in the first embodiment of the array camera of the present invention, the array camera includes an imaging sensor 1. The imaging sensor 1 includes four unit channels 11 and four lens modules 2 respectively mounted on the four unit channels 11. The unit channel 11 is arranged in two horizontal rows and two vertical rows. Each unit channel 11 includes an effective imaging area 111 and a dead area 112 except for the effective imaging area 111. Each effective imaging area 111 is rectangular or square, which focuses light from the corresponding lens module 2. Each lens module 2 includes a lens barrel 21 and at least one lens (not shown) housed in the lens barrel 21, and the lens barrel 21 of each lens module 2 includes a lens barrel 21 facing the remaining adjacent lens modules 2 The inner side wall 211 and the outer side wall 212 disposed opposite to the inner side wall 211. In this embodiment, the inner side wall 211 of each lens module 2 incl...

Abstract

The invention provides an array camera. The array camera comprises an imaging sensor, wherein the imaging sensor comprises at least two unit channels and lens modules which are respectively installed on the unit channels. Each unit channel comprises an effective imaging zone and dead zones except the effective imaging zone, each lens module comprises a lens barrel, the lens barrel of each lens module comprises an inner side wall which is arranged towards the residual adjacent lens modules and an outer side wall which is arranged opposite to the inner side wall, wherein the orthographic projection of the inner side wall of each lens barrel along an optical axis direction forms an inside straight line on the corresponding unit channel of the imaging sensor, and each inside straight line is superposed with the outer contour of the effective imaging zone. Compared with a related technology, the array camera has a smaller size, is lower in cost and has higher pixel.

Description

【Technical Field】 [0001] The invention relates to a camera, in particular to an array camera. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the development of optical technology, people have become more and more dependent on cameras, especially for tourists, who have put forward higher and higher requirements on the quality of the cameras, so high-resolution array cameras have appeared. Reference manual attached Figure 1-2 The related camera array includes an imaging sensor 1', which includes at least two unit channels 11' and a lens module 2'respectively mounted on each unit channel 11'. The related art array camera divides the imaging sensor 1'into at least two parts, and then reconstructs the pictures obtained by each unit channel 11' into a complete high-pixel picture. In the array camera of this structure, the imaging sensor 1'is divided into four unit channels 11', and each lens module includes a lens barrel 21' and at least one lens (not shown) contained in the lens barrel 21'. E...
