A method for verifying alignment of image sensors of a CCD camera, the method including casting a collimated light source through an LCOS controlled to be disposed in a first pattern, onto the image sensors to form a second pattern on each of the image sensors, the LCOS disposed between a collimated light source and the CCD camera, frame-differencing the first pattern with the second pattern of each of the image sensors to result in a differencing result for each of the image sensors, and adjusting at least one of an orientation and a position of one of the image sensors if the differencing result for the one of the image sensors is non-zero, to result in an optical mapping of pixel cells of the LCOS and pixel cells of each of the image sensors.

Liquid crystal on silicon for multiple charge-coupled device camera alignment

An optical system including an enclosure including a front end and a rear end, a first pair of apertures configured to be disposed on a front plane on the front end of the enclosure and a single optical lens system disposed between the front end and the rear end of the enclosure, wherein the first pair of apertures are configured to allow sets of light rays into the enclosure through the single optical lens system to be cast on an image plane as first and second spots, the image plane being parallel to the front plane, if the first and second spots are concentrically disposed, the sets of light rays are determined to be parallelly disposed with respect to one another, otherwise the sets of light rays are determined to not be parallelly disposed with one another.
