<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and an apparatus capable of satisfying the significant size constraints in a compact imaging application environment. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus includes an optical sensor 16, a lens system 12, and an optical diaphragm system 14. The optical sensor includes photocells each of which has respective photocell active areas in a capture plane 24. each lense 17, of the lens system is operable to focus light from respective subfields of a scene into a corresponding focused beam 44. The optical diaphragm system includes aperture systems 26, each of which confines a corresponding one of the focused beams to respective illumination areas in the capture plane. Light from respective subfields of a scene is focused into corresponding focused beams. Corresponding ones of the focused beams are confined to respective non-overlapping illumination areas in the capture plane. Optical data is generated from light of the focused beams illuminating the illumination areas. Motion measures value of movement in relation to the scene are produced from the optical data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
