Systems and methods for generating a camera model are provided.

Methods and systems of generating camera models for camera calibration

A wavefront sensor for measuring a wavefront that includes an aperture mask configured to receive incident light, the aperture mask comprising a plurality of apertures irregularly spaced and arranged in a plurality of sub-windows that respectively transmit sub-beams of the incident light. A diffuser can receive the sub-beams transmitted by the plurality of apertures. A controller of the sensor is configured to identify measured sub-beams by convolving the sub-beams imaged on the diffuser with a map of the plurality of apertures; and measure the wavefront of the incident light based on changes in position of the sub-beams in a digital image of the diffuser relative to both reference positions and neighboring sub-beams.

Methods of generating a camera model are provided. A robotic assembly is used to move a calibration assembly relative to a camera assembly through a series of poses. The calibration assembly comprises a calibration target and markers. The camera assembly comprises a mount, a camera having a field of view, and markers. The predetermined series of poses, together, cause the calibration target to pass through the field of view of the camera. The camera is used to generate a respective image of the calibration target. A tracker is used, to determine respective locations in space of the markers. A transformation function is generated that maps onto a three-dimensional space the stored coordinates and determined locations in space of the markers and features of the calibration target. The transformation functions are used to generate a model of parameters of the camera. Systems are also provided.

Wavefront sensors are provided herein. An aperture mask is configured to receive incident light the wavefront of which is to be measured and comprising irregularly spaced apertures that respectively transmit sub-beams of the incident light. A diffuser is configured to receive the sub-beams transmitted by irregularly spaced apertures of the aperture mask. A camera, having a focal plane in which the diffuser substantially is located, is configured to obtain a digital image of the diffuser and thus to obtain a digital image of the incident light the sub-beams of which the aperture mask transmits onto the diffuser. A controller is configured to electronically receive the digital image of the diffuser and to measure the wavefront of the incident light based on the digital image. Methods also are provided.

A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. The optical assemblies may each have a display for generating an image and a lens that presents the image to a corresponding eye box for viewing by a user. The optical assemblies may have lens barrels. Each lens barrel may have a first end to which a display is mounted and may have an opposing second end. A mount may be used to attach the lens to the second end of the lens barrel. The mount may have at least one flexure. The flexure may have a U-shaped cross-sectional shape. The mount may have a ring-shaped flexure that extends around a peripheral edge of the lens, may have flexure segments, or may have a set of three discrete flexures located at different positions along the edge of the lens.

A light module is removably coupleable to a light fixture and includes an LED lighting element mounted on a mounting base that is operatively coupled to a housing. The light module also includes one or more resilient members that operatively couple the mounting base to the housing and allow the mounting base and housing to resiliently move relative to each other. The resilient members compress when the light module is removably coupled to the light fixture to exert a generally axial force on the mounting base to drive the mounting base into resilient contact with a surface of the light fixture to provide a thermal coupling between the light module and the light fixture.
