Abstract:
As 3D information is increasingly incorporated into real-world optical imaging applications, a major challenge has been integrating depth information with increased resolution. Double Helix Optics’ systems overcome the limitations imposed by traditional optics, providing improvements in depth resolution and resolution in depth where current technologies fail. The company’s systems are based on an integrated computational optical imaging paradigm that utilizes patented engineered 3D point spread functions (ePSF) in conjunction with matched reconstruction algorithms for image capture and processing. This integrated, joint design achieves a combination of depth range - precision capabilities not obtained from traditional imaging designs and limits imposed by separate optical, detector array, and processing design. This talk will focus on development of this technology for commercial use and the challenges of moving technology from the lab to the marketplace.
