Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera lens technology, and more specifically, to an ultra-high-definition distortion-free face recognition lens. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, facial recognition technology is widely used in various fields, and its performance directly determines the effectiveness of these applications. However, existing optical lenses still have many shortcomings in terms of recognition accuracy and distortion control. Lenses using traditional optical designs may maintain a clear image in the center of the face, but blurring or distortion at the edges is common, especially in wide-angle lenses where image distortion is more pronounced, affecting the accuracy of facial recognition.
[0003] Furthermore, as people's demands for image quality increase, 2K pixel level lenses have become the industry's goal. To achieve 2K pixels, existing optical lenses require more lens elements and more complex optical structures, which not only increases lens costs but also increases lens thickness and weight, making lens design and installation more complicated.
[0004] Meanwhile, special applications, such as working in high-temperature environments or using the lens at night or in complex lighting conditions, place higher demands on its durability and adaptability. Existing lenses exhibit poor stability in high-temperature environments, and image quality is easily affected by interference under nighttime or complex lighting conditions, impacting usability. Therefore, developing an ultra-high-definition, distortion-free face recognition optical lens that can meet the requirements of high definition, distortion-free performance, high-temperature resistance, and use under complex lighting conditions is of significant practical importance.

Furthermore, the average Vd of the first group (L1-L4) is approximately 34, and the average Vd of the latter group (L5-L8) is approximately 65, forming a complementary chromatic aberration structure.
[0042] Furthermore, the distance from the outermost point of the first lens element L1 on the object side to the imaging plane must satisfy the following formula: total optical length S4 = 28.7 ± 0.3 mm.
