Vision system

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a vision system which may include a plurality of lenses coupled to an image sensor by a plurality of optical fiber bundles. Each of the plurality of lenses is configured to capture at least a portion of the scene. The image sensor may be located a distance from the plurality of lenses. The optical fiber bundles are configured to transmit optical image data from each lens to the image sensor. The image sensor is configured to convert the optical image data from each lens into corresponding electrical image data (“electrical image data”) for each lens.

主权项

1. A vision apparatus comprising:
a plurality of lenses, each of said plurality of lenses configured to capture at least a portion of a scene, and wherein a first lens of said plurality of lenses is oriented at an angle that differs from an orientation of a second lens of said plurality of lenses; a lens orientation controller configured to sense said orientation of said first lens relative to said orientation of said second lens and to adjust said orientation of said first lens in response to input from a user interface; a plurality of optical fiber bundles, each of said plurality of optical fiber bundles having a first end and a second end, each said first end coupled to one of said plurality of lenses; and an image sensor coupled to said second end of said plurality of optical fiber bundles, wherein each of said plurality of optical fiber bundles is configured to transmit optical image data corresponding to each said at least a portion of a scene from each said lens to said image sensor and said image sensor is configured to convert said optical image data into corresponding electrical image data; and wherein said coupling of said second end to said image sensor is configured to preserve an orientation of said second end relative to a surface of said image sensor during said adjustment of said orientation of said first lens.
