Abstract
Techniques for facilitating wide field of view (FOV) imaging systems and methods are provided. In one example, an imaging device includes a lens system including a first lens group and a second lens group. The first lens group includes at least one spherical lens element and is associated with a first FOV. The first lens group is configured to transmit electromagnetic radiation associated with a scene. The second lens group includes wafer level optics aspherical lens elements and is associated with a second FOV narrower than the first FOV. The second lens group is configured to transmit the electromagnetic radiation received from the first lens group. The imaging device further includes a detector array including detectors. Each detector is configured to receive a portion of the electromagnetic radiation from the lens system and generate a thermal image based on the electromagnetic radiation. Related methods and systems are also provided.
