Method And Apparatus For Detecting Optimum Lens Focus Position

View page
US Patent:
7280149, Oct 9, 2007
Filed:
Dec 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/034295
Inventors:
Jonathan Weintroub - Cambridge MA, US
Michael D. Aronson - Lexington MA, US
Ellen B. Cargill - Norfolk MA, US
Assignee:
Flextronics Sales & Marketing (A-P) Ltd. - Port Louis
International Classification:
H04N 5/232
G03B 13/00
US Classification:
348349, 348345
Abstract:
The present invention is a technique for measuring optimum focus position of a lens to include the steps of capturing a digital image in the field of view, digitally compressing the image to provide a compressed file having a file size and providing a focus accuracy parameter derived from the file size of the compressed file. The key point of this invention is the recognition that the compressed file associated with a given image increases monotonically in size as the image is brought into focus. The latter occurs because a focused image has greater information content than an unfocused image. With such a technique, an optimal focus position of a lens can be determined by maximizing a single parameter, the compressed output file size.

Micro Camera Module With Discrete Manual Focal Positions

View page
US Patent:
7469100, Dec 23, 2008
Filed:
Oct 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/242646
Inventors:
John W. Toor - Palo Alto CA, US
Elaine B. Bogue - Dunstable MA, US
Ellen B. Cargill - Norfolk MA, US
Kraig S. Clark - Erie CO, US
Assignee:
Flextronics AP LLC - Niwot CO
International Classification:
G03B 13/32
US Classification:
396144, 348345
Abstract:
A novel micro camera module that is manually adjustable between a close-up mode and an infinite mode includes a lens assembly adjustably mounted within a sleeve that is adjustably mounted into a housing. In a particular embodiment the sleeve includes a channel (cam groove) that is engaged by a plurality of pins fixed to the housing. Further, a biasing member is disposed between the sleeve and the housing such that an upward force will enable the pins to firmly engage the lower portion of the channel. In a more particular embodiment, the channel defines two detents that secure the sleeve into predetermined positions with respect to the housing. In an even more particular embodiment, the channel is sloped such that upon rotation of the sleeve, the distance between the lens assembly and an image capture device is changed. In another particular embodiment, the camera module includes an electrical mode detecting switch that is indicative of the position of the camera module.

Configurable Tele Wide Module

View page
US Patent:
8488046, Jul 16, 2013
Filed:
Dec 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/005686
Inventors:
Alexander Raschke - Weston FL, US
Klaus Raschke - Weston FL, US
Ellen Cargill - Norfolk MA, US
John Toor - Palo Alto CA, US
Ellis Betensky - Ottawa, CA
Assignee:
DigitalOptics Corporation - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04N 5/232
H04N 5/225
G03B 13/00
US Classification:
348345, 348373
Abstract:
A tele wide module includes a first optics group, a fixed position for the first optics group, a second optics group, a set of predetermined positions for the second optics group, a selector for selecting a first position from the set of predetermined positions, and an image sensor. The first optics group is configured to provide a focus to the image sensor. The focus is based on the selected first position. A method of adjusting a lens configuration selects a first position from a set of positions. Based on the selected position, the method deposes a second lens group in relation to a first lens group. Typically, the position of the first lens group is fixed. Through the first and second lens groups, the method provides an image to an image sensor. The method of some embodiments provides a focused image to the image sensor by using a hyper focal setting.

Inventors:
John W. Toor - Palo Alto CA, US
Elaine B. Bogue - Dunstable MA, US
Ellen B. Cargill - Norfolk MA, US
Kraig S. Clark - Erie CO, US
Assignee:
DigitalOptics Corporation - San Jose CA
International Classification:

Systems And Methods For High Resolution Imaging

View page
US Patent:
20100103300, Apr 29, 2010
Filed:
Oct 26, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/605801
Inventors:
Peter W. J. Jones - Belmont MA, US
Ellen Cargill - Norfolk MA, US
Dennis W. Purcell - Medford MA, US
Assignee:
Tenebraex Corporation - Boston MA
International Classification:
H04N 5/335
US Classification:
348302, 348294, 348E05091
Abstract:
The systems and methods described herein relate to high resolution imaging. In particular, the systems include two or more lens assemblies for imaging a particular scene. Each lens assembly has image sensors disposed behind the lens assembly to image only a portion of the scene viewable through the lens assembly. Image sensors behind different lens assemblies image different portions of the scene. When the imaged portions from all the sensors are combined, a high resolution image of the scene is formed. Thus, multiple sensors can be combined to generate a high resolution image without prospective mismatching, and without the shortcomings associated with the border regions and packaging of the individual sensors, such as image gaps.
