This sounds backwards to me. My understanding of the main benefit of curved sensors is to eliminate complex lens series needed to correct aberrations caused by a flat sensor surface.
- zwieback 5y agoYes, sounds like they got that backwards. Although, if mimicking the eye, you'd need a lens with variable focal length to take full advantage.
- fooker 5y agoOur eye only has good vision in the center. So, there is usually no mimicking the eye for designing imaging systems.
- fooker 5y agoFor a fixed focal length, yes. If however, you want to use a lens of a different focal length compared to the one naturally suited to the curvature, that makes things much more complicated.
