Folded Optical Systems

Assorted projects that include a folded optical design.

SCENICC - Soldier Centric Imaging via Computational Cameras

DARPA, SCENICC Program, 2011

Distant Focus is funded under the SCENICC program by the University of California, San Diego to be the primary camera system integrator for the enhanced vision part of this program.

AWARE Multi-gigapixel camera system

DARPA, MOSAIC / AWARE Program, 2010

Distant Focus is working with Duke University to develop multi-gigapixel camera systems based on a multi-scale design and is responsible for the electronics platform and system enclosure.

OCM / MPM Microscope

NIST, SBIR, 2005

This project consisted of the design and construction of a dual function optical coherence microscope (OCM) and multi-photon fluorescence microscope (MPM).

MONTAGE Ultra-thin camera systems

DARPA, MONTAGE Program, 2004

The MONTAGE program explored novel form factors for camera design.

ICIS Camera Array Demonstrator

DARPA, ICIS Program, 2002

Distant Focus constructed an array of 128 low-resolution cameras for demonstrating special algorithms to show how image diversity can produce an increase in resolution.

SensIT Large-Scale Sensor Network Simulation and Visualization

DARPA, SensIT Program, 2002

The goal of this program was to develop algorithms and investigate performance through the simulation and visualization of large-scale sensor arrays to determine optimal routing mechanisms.

LIDAR System Integration

UIUC / NAVY, 2001

This system was built for the purpose of generating data to study algorithms used in underwater mine detection.

UGS Tomographic Imaging with Unattended Ground Sensor Arrays

DARPA, UGS Program, 2001

The goal of this program was to develop unattended sensors and sensor arrays that accurately and robustly track targets using 3-D tomographic techniques.
