MONTAGE

MONTAGE Camera


MONTAGE - Distant Focus is managing the design, construction, and integration of hardware for the DARPA sponsored MONTAGE program. Our Phase I challenge was to showcase the novel optical architectures and revolutionary design optimization paradigms developed by our project team. This Phase I task was accomplished by building an operating device shown in the above picture designed to show the functionality and performance of new technology in comparison to a conventional camera. The Phase I platform represents the successful implementation from concept to realization in a 12 month time frame! Phase II results will be presented as they become available.

Camera Array Demonstrator

Icis Array

Camera Array Demonstrator - This project involved the construction of an array of 128 cameras for demonstrating special algorithms. The main idea is to use a set of low resolution detectors distributed randomly on a surface to form a higher resolution image as well as collecting more light than an individual sensor could. This design has several potential advantages over conventional imaging, scalability, low aspect ratio (flat camera), and high fault tolerance with graceful image degradation if individual sensors are damaged.
