A low parallax imaging device includes a plurality of imaging lens elements arranged to capture adjacent fields of view. In some examples, adjacent imaging lens elements may contact at datum features to maintain a desired spacing. The spacing may allow for partial overlapping of low-parallax volumes associated with the respective imaging lens elements.

Mounting systems for multi-camera imagers

A lens form for a low parallax imaging device includes a plurality of imaging lens elements arranged to capture adjacent fields of view. The imaging lens elements include a plurality of lens element groups for directing incident light to an imaging plane. The lens elements control a distance between an entrance pupil located behind the image plane and a low parallax point to reduce parallax errors between adjacent of the imaging lens elements.

Lens design for low parallax panoramic camera systems

A low parallax imaging device includes a dome defining an interior volume in which a plurality of imaging lens elements are disposed. The dome includes a first outer optical element associated with a first of the imaging lens elements and a second outer optical element associated with a second of the imaging lens elements. Facets are provided at seams in the dome between the first outer optical element and the second outer optical element.
