Abstract
A field of view (FOV) extender may include prisms that direct light from an angle outside of an angle of view associated with a lens of camera, onto the image sensor of the camera, thereby piecewise extending the field of view of the camera beyond the unaltered angle of view of the camera. The prisms may be oriented to direct light around an outer region of the image sensor, which may generate signals use for motion detection purposes. Each prism may be spaced apart from an adjacent prism by a gap, which may create an alternating sequence of prisms and gaps. An inner region of the image sensor may capture imagery that may be suitable for output to a user.
