A surround-view imaging system for 3D imaging of a surrounding of the system which avoid saturation and overexposure of an associated image detector, comprising an imager and an illuminator. The illuminator and the imager are arranged one over another and separated from one another by a distance to form an intermediate region which is neither in the field of view of the illuminator nor in the field of view of the imager, and corresponding imager for such surround-view imaging system.

Surround-view imaging systems

Methods and apparatuses for forming optical packages, and intermediate structures resulting from the same are disclosed, which provide an optical element over a device. The optical element is formed by applying a force to lateral portions of a liquid material layer formed below an elastomeric material layer such that the liquid material layer has a radius of curvature sufficient to direct light to a light sensitive portion of the device, after which the liquid material layer is exposed to conditions which maintain the radius of curvature after the lateral force is removed.
