| 发明名称 | Auto-focus in low-profile folded optics multi-camera system | ||
| 摘要 | Embodiments of imaging systems and methods of autofocusing are disclosed, for example, using a folded optics configuration. One system includes at least one camera configured to capture a target image scene, including an image sensor comprising an array of sensor elements, a primary light folding surface configured to direct a portion of received light in a first direction, and an optical element having a secondary light folding surface directing light in a second direction. The system can also include a lens assembly having at least one stationary lens positioned between the secondary light folding surface and the image sensor, the at least one stationary lens having a first surface mechanically coupled to the optical element and a second surface mechanically coupled to the image sensor, and at least one movable lens positioned between the primary light folding surface and the optical element. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An imaging system, comprising: at least one camera configured to capture a target image scene, the at least one camera comprising an image sensor comprising an array of sensor elements;a primary light folding surface configured to direct a portion of received light in a first direction;an optical element having a secondary light folding surface, the secondary light folding surface positioned to redirect light received from the primary light folding surface in a second direction;a lens assembly comprising at least one stationary lens positioned between the secondary light folding surface and the image sensor, the at least one stationary lens having a first surface mechanically coupled to the optical element and a second surface mechanically coupled to the image sensor, wherein the at least one stationary lens comprises a field corrector lens, andat least one movable lens positioned between the primary light folding surface and the optical element; andan actuator configured to move the at least one movable lens to focus light propagating through the lens assembly onto the image sensor. | ||
