Since the technology of current image sensors is limited to the megapixel class, it is necessary to use an image-stitching technique to create a gigapixel image from hundreds or thousands of photos taken by a megapixel image sensor. In this paper, we investigate the entire process of gigapixel camera technology employing a robotic panoramic head plus a stitching technique, and analyze the gigapixel camera technologies of Duke University and BAE Systems from the viewpoint of optical design structure. Hopefully this knowledge will lead to a new optical structure for a gigapixel camera. Meanwhile, we also perceive the need for additional image processing to reduce the noise of photos with a background of fog and mist, taken far from the camera lens.

In this paper, we described an approach to design of precision optical system for visual inspection of solder joint defects of SMC(surface mount components) on PCBs(Printed Circuit Board). The illumination system, consisting of three tiered LED lamps and one main camera and four side view camera, is implemented to generated iso-contour on the solder joint according to gradient of the soldered surface. We analyze LED design parameter such as incident angle, diameter of LED ring, and so on to acquire uniform illumination.

In this paper, we use multi-point sources to illuminate the sample in digital holographic microscopy. The resolution of digital holographic microscopy is enhanced without shifting the CCD camera. The specimen is illuminated from many directions by using multi-point sources which are easily created by a lens-array. The high frequency information of specimen can be captured at a fixed position of CCD camera. All information is then synthesized to increase the resolution.

This paper discussed a method for estimating the distance using the stereo zoom lens module. A method for estimating the distance using single zoom lens is limited in convergence angle. So, we composed horizontal moving camera and estimated the distance. In the experiment, we get the wider convergence angle and more precise distance than single camera's.

Third order correlation function is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undtectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In order paper, we will introduce a real time third order correlator which consists of a laser light source, an acousto-optical modulator with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to computer for image processing. With this correlator, the third order correlation pattern of a signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallelnature of optical computing.

Alignment of the mirrors composing a space telescope is an important process for obtaining high optical resolution and performance of the camera system. The alignment of mirrors using cube mirrors requires a relative coordinate mapping between the mirror and the cube mirror before optical-system integration. Therefore, to align the spacecraft camera mirrors, the relative coordinates of the vertex of each mirror and the corresponding cube mirror must be accurately measured. This paper proposes a new method for finding the vertex position of a primary mirror, by using an optical fiber and alignment segments of a computer-generated hologram (CGH). The measurement system is composed of an optical testing interferometer and a multimode optical fiber. We used two theodolites to measure the relative coordinates of the optical fiber located at the mirror vertex with respect to the cube mirror, and achieved a measurement precision of better than $25{\mu}m$.

Since tolerance allocation in a mobile phone camera manufacturing process greatly affects production cost and reliability of optical performance, a systematic design methodology for allocating optimal tolerances is required. In this study, we proposed the tolerance optimization procedure for determining tolerances that minimize production cost while satisfying the reliability constraints on important optical performance indices. We employed Latin hypercube sampling for evaluating the reliabilities of optical performance and a function-based sequential approximate optimization technique that can reduce computational burden and well handle numerical noise in the tolerance optimization process. Using the suggested tolerance optimization approach, the optimal production cost was decreased by 30.3 % compared to the initial cost while satisfying the two constraints on the reliabilities of optical performance.
