Auto-focus in low-profile bending optical multi-camera system

摘要

For example, an embodiment of an imaging system and method for autofocusing using a bending optics configuration is disclosed. One system includes an image sensor comprising an array of sensor elements, a primary light bending surface configured to direct a portion of received light in a first direction, and a secondary that directs light in a second direction. And at least one camera configured to capture a target image scene including an optical element having a light bending surface. The system also includes a lens assembly having at least one fixed lens disposed between the secondary light bending surface and the image sensor, and the at least one fixed lens is a first surface mechanically coupled to the optical element; And at least one movable lens disposed between the primary light bending surface and the optical element having a second surface mechanically coupled to the image sensor.
