发明名称 Ultra-wide field of view seeker
摘要 A system includes a seeker having a reflective surface of rotation, an image detector configured to capture images of a field of view, and an imaging lens group configured to provide the images of the field of view from the reflective surface of rotation onto the image detector. The system also includes an electronics unit configured to process the captured images. The reflective surface of rotation could distort the field of view in the captured images, and the electronics unit could remove distortions in the captured images caused by the reflective surface of rotation. The electronics unit could remove the distortions in the captured images using inverse reflective anamorphosis. The reflective surface of rotation could include a concave surface, a convex surface, a cylindrical surface, an inverted straight cone, a slice of a sphere containing an outer curved surface, or at least one reflective surface rotatable around an optical axis.

主权项 1. An ultra-wide field of view seeker comprising: a reflective surface of rotation having a curved reflective surface that is radially symmetrical about an axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry being parallel to an optical axis of the seeker, the reflective surface of rotation providing a field of view of approximately 2π steradians except for a region of obscurity about the axis of symmetry; an image detector configured to capture images of the field of view; and an imaging lens group configured to provide the images of the field of view from the reflective surface of rotation onto the image detector.
