In a conventional TV camera, the image falls upon a staring
array of transducers. The problem is that it is very difficult to
get very close to the focal point of the optical system using this
technology.
I am looking for a design of a camera imaging system
that projects the light image onto a fiber optic bundle.
The optical fibers are used to transport the light falling upon
each pixel away from the camera focal point so that the light
may be quantitized.
I'm sure that such a system has already been designed, and
I would greatly appreciate any references that would be appropriate
to this type of application. I need to computer model such a system,
so the pertinent optical physics and related information would be
MOST useful.
If there are any of you that might be interested in this
type of camera system, please contact me. It promises to provide
the degree of resolution which is a constraint in many vision
computations.
Visually yours,
Philip Kahn
