One of the lesser-known ways that camera manufacturers have been able to make digital cameras ever smaller and less expensive is by using in-camera software to correct for lens distortion on the fly.

The depth-defying lens can focus on multiple objects at different distances.

Four lenses and a Spatial Light Modulator allow each pixel to have a different focal length in research from Carnegie Mellon ...

A new trilobite-like camera lens has been developed, and it offers a feature that is not yet integrated into the mainstream camera devices, such as DSLRs and video cams developed by Sony, Nikon, and ...

Using an ultrathin wafer of silicon and gold to focus lightwaves, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have created a revolutionary new kind of camera lens that ...

Effective immediately, the cameras of the ImageIR® series operating in the short-wave infrared range are able to measure objects over very large distances. In addition to the camera sensor used, an ...

Gyeong-il Kweon of Honam University in South Korea tells optics.org about his plans to market a new wide-angle lens for security applications. Optical researchers in South Korea have developed an ...

For those in the security industry, we know that the detail in an image is determined by resolution and that the term “resolution” has many definitions including the number of pixels of the image ...

Scientists have developed a lens-free mid-infrared camera using a modern twist on pinhole imaging. The system uses nonlinear crystals to convert infrared light into visible, allowing standard sensors ...
