| Abstract | A compound eye and retina-like combination sensor based on a space-variant curved micro lens array (CMLA) is proposed to simultaneously offer the large FOV characteristic of a compound eye and retina-like feature of a single aperture eye. The mathematical models of the sensor are developed and the structure parameters of the space-variant CMLA are deduced. Modeling verification is carried out and the results show that the whole field of view (FOV) of the sensor is 105° and the optical information loss rate is 0.06 when the sector is 32. Imaging simulations illustrate that the sensor possesses the retina-like property, i.e., logarithmic-polar transformation. Meanwhile, the simulation results indicate that the overlapping angles between the two micro lenses on the adjacent rings can be reduced by decreasing the rings and the blind radius, and increasing the sectors. This work is beneficial for large FOV and time-efficient applications. |
