DYNAMICALLY CURVED SENSOR FOR OPTICAL ZOOM LENS

摘要

The subject disclosure is directed towards an image sensor that is controllable curved to adapt for differences in lens focal lengths. Variable data such as focal length data, measured curvature data and/or image quality data is received at a curve controller that curves the sensor based upon the variable data. In one aspect, a camera is provided with a lens having a variable focal length and a sensor capable of being dynamically curved. A curve controller receives image quality data and iteratively uses the image quality data to adjust the curvature to attempt to increase the image quality of a subsequent image to be captured.
