BEAM SPLIT EXTENDED DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM

摘要

The optical system and method may relate to capturing extended dynamic range images. In an exemplary embodiment, an optical system may include a lens element configured to receive incident light, and a beam splitter optically coupled to the lens element. The beam splitter is configured to split the incident light into at least a first portion having a first photon flux and a second portion having a second photon flux. The first photon flux is at least an order of magnitude greater than the second photon flux. the controller causes the first image sensor to capture a first image of the first portion of the incident light according to the first exposure parameters, the second image sensor to capture a second image of the second portion of the incident light according to the second exposure parameters can be configured to capture.
