Optics

  • Calibrated fixed-focus lenses available:
    • 10" (0.1 pix) in the center 80% x 80% area
    • 30" (0.3 pix) maximal error over the full FoV
    • <0.03um/° thermal expansion
  • Aberration correction allows to preserve a full sensor resolution over the camera FoV
  • Distortion correction allows to get a precise pixel mapping for a single/multiple sensor system
  • Calibration is not limited to panoramic cameras - is available for all kinds of systems.
