TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical design, in particular to a 178° ultra-wide-angle optical imaging system. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of smart cities and security monitoring networks, the front-end equipment has increasingly urgent requirements for "single lens, large field of view, and low cost". Especially in the face of "thousands of roads" large-scale deployment, how to balance the field of view, image quality, and cost has become a core problem in technical research and development. At present, the common ultra-wide-angle optical imaging systems on the market mostly use aspherical plastic lenses or multi-piece (more than nine pieces) glass lens structures to achieve a field of view close to or exceeding 180°. However, these designs, although to some extent, can solve the problems of distortion and chromatic aberration, but they have many defects: first, the material cost of aspherical plastic lenses is high, and the processing difficulty is great; second, the structure of multiple lenses not only makes it difficult to guarantee the processing precision, but also increases the weight and volume of the system, affecting the stability and durability of the system, especially in scenes with large temperature changes, which is prone to problems such as focal length drift and aberration change; in addition, due to the complexity of the production process, the consistency is poor in batch production, further increasing the difficulty of quality control and large-scale deployment.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new optical imaging scheme that can maintain an ultra-wide field of view (178°) while reducing costs, simplifying the structure, and ensuring high stability of image quality. Based on this demand, the present application proposes an innovative solution that, through clever design, uses a structure of 8 spherical glass lenses, effectively controlling costs while achieving good optical performance. This design not only guarantees the field of view, but also fully considers aberration correction and reduces distortion by reasonably configuring the lens arrangement, improving the overall image quality. In addition, the total length of the system is significantly optimized, making the optical imaging system more compact and easy to integrate, providing an ideal front-end acquisition solution for security monitoring systems.
