Nano-optic imagers that modulate light at sub-wavelength scales could enable new
applications in diverse domains ranging from robotics to medicine. Although metasurface …

A light-field camera captures both the intensity and the direction of incoming light,,,–. This
enables a user to refocus pictures and afterwards reconstruct information on the depth of …

It is a grand challenge for an imaging system to simultaneously obtain multi-dimensional
light field information, such as depth and polarization, of a scene for the accurate perception …

Planar digital image sensors facilitate broad applications in a wide range of areas,,,–, and
the number of pixels has scaled up rapidly in recent years,. However, the practical …

Wide field-of-view (FOV) optical functionality is crucial for implementation of advanced
imaging and image projection devices. Conventionally, wide FOV operation is attained with …

Electronic digital convolutions could extract key features of objects for data processing and
information identification in artificial intelligence, but they are time-cost and energy …

Inspired by natural living systems, modern cameras can attain three-dimensional vision via
multi-view geometry like compound eyes in flies, or time-of-flight sensing like echolocation in …

Conventional wide-field-of-view cameras consist of multi-lens optics and flat image sensor
arrays, which makes them bulky and heavy. As a result, they are poorly suited to advanced …

The vision system of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans is based on the compound-
eye architecture, consisting of a dense array of individual imaging elements (ommatidia) …
