Abstract
An optical system includes a splitting optic configured to receive a light beam from a light source and form a set of light bands radiating from the optical system at predetermined angles relative to illuminate a scene. The optical system further includes a lens configured to project a field of view of the scene into a two-dimensional format. The optical system further includes an optical sensor arranged offset from the central axis of the lens to capture a segment of the field of view projected by the lens.
Claims20
An optical system comprising:
- a splitting optic configured to receive a light beam from a light source along a first axis and form a set of light bands radiating from the optical system at predetermined angles relative to the first axis to illuminate a scene;
- and
- a lens configured to project a field of view of the scene into a two-dimensional format and having a central axis perpendicular to the first axis and offset along a direction of the central axis from the splitting optic;
- and
- an optical sensor arranged offset from the central axis of the lens to capture a segment of the field of view projected by the lens.
An optical system comprising:
- an electromagnetic (EM) wave emitter;
- a spreading optic configured to redirect EM waves from the EM wave emitter at a predetermined angle;
- a splitting optic configured to receive the redirected EM waves and radiate a set of EM wave bands at predetermined separation angles to illuminate a scene;
- and
- an imaging system configured to image the scene encompassing the set of EM wave bands and including a lens and an optical sensor arranged offset from a central axis of the lens such that the optical sensor images a segment of a field of view projected by the lens.
An optical system comprising:
- an electromagnetic (EM) wave emitter configured to emit EM waves along a first axis;
- a spreading optic configured to redirect the EM waves at a predetermined angle relative to the first axis to form a spread beam;
- a splitting optic configured to divide the spread beam into a plurality of beams separated by one or more separation angles to illuminate a scene segment;
- and
- an imaging system configured to image a scene encompassing the beams and including a lens and an optical sensor arranged offset from a central axis of the lens such that the optical sensor images a segment of a field of view projected by the lens.
