Abstract
To realize large field of view (FOV) and high-resolution dynamic gaze of the moving target, this paper proposes the monocentric multiscale foveated (MMF) imaging system based on monocentric multiscale design and foveated imaging. First we present the MMF imaging system concept. Then we analyze large field curvature and distortion of the secondary image when the spherical intermediate image produced by the primary monocentric objective lens is relayed by the microcameras. Further a type of zoom endoscope objective lens is selected as the initial structure and optimized to minimize the field curvature and distortion with ZEMAX optical design software. The simulation results show that the maximum field curvature in full field of view is below 0.25Â mm and the maximum distortion in full field of view is below 0.6%, which can meet the requirements of the microcamera in the proposed MMF imaging system. In addition, a simple doublet is used to design the foveated imaging system. Results of the microcamera together with the foveated imager compose the results of the whole MMF imaging system.
