Flexible multi-mode variable imaging device

Abstract

The invention provides a flexible multi-mode variable imaging device. The device comprises a plurality of imaging units, a support body and a fluid chamber, the support body supports the plurality of imaging units; one part of the cavity wall of the fluid cavity is formed by a support body; the supporting body can be deformed under the action of pressure; when the pressure in the fluid chamber is not equal to the pressure outside the fluid chamber, the support body is provided with curved surface, the plurality of imaging units are arranged on the curved surface, the visual angle directions of the at least two imaging units are different, when the pressure in the fluid chamber is equal to the pressure outside the fluid chamber, the support body is provided with a plane, the plurality of imaging units are arranged on the plane, the visual angle directions of the plurality of imaging units are the same, and the visual field parts of the at least two imaging units are overlapped. The imaging device transitions between a high resolution imaging mode and a wide viewing angle imaging mode. The whole structure of the imaging device is simple, and the arrangement of a plurality of imaging units can be continuously and accurately regulated and controlled.

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
