Abstract
A method of assembling a camera includes the steps of determining a focused-position of a lens relative to an imager where an image is focused on the imager, determining a first-factor indicative of focus quality at a central-portion of the imager, and determining a second-factor indicative of focus quality at an outer-portion of the imager. The outer-portion is characterized as displaced radially outward from the central-portion. The method also includes the steps of determining an actual-ratio of the first-factor and the second-factor, and determining an offset-position of the lens relative to the imager based on the focused-position, a ratio-difference between the actual-ratio and a desired-ratio, and an expansion-characteristic of an adhesive that is used to fixedly couple the lens to the imager. The method also includes the step of applying the adhesive to fixedly couple the lens to the imager while the lens is in the offset-position.
