IMAGING DEVICE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IMAGING DEVICE, AND IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17769209 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IMAGING DEVICE, AND IMAGING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an imaging device manufacturing apparatus and method for manufacturing an imaging device that can enhance the quality of images reconstructed by a lensless camera. The lensless camera includes a mask with lenses that transmit and condense incident light, an imaging element that captures the modulated light, and a signal processing unit that reconstructs the final image.
- The imaging device manufacturing apparatus and method optimize the optical axis directions of the lenses in the mask to ensure only the incident light that has passed through the mask is condensed and enters the imaging element.
- The lensless camera system improves image quality by effectively modulating and transmitting incident light through the mask, capturing it with the imaging element, and reconstructing the final image through signal processing.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various fields such as surveillance systems, medical imaging, industrial inspection, and scientific research where high-quality imaging is essential.
Problems Solved
1. Improved image quality in lensless cameras. 2. Enhanced performance and accuracy in capturing and reconstructing images.
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an imaging device manufacturing apparatus, a method for manufacturing an imaging device, and an imaging device that are designed to be capable of increasing the quality of an image to be reconstructed by a lensless camera. The lensless camera includes a mask that has a plurality of lenses that transmit and condense incident light in part of a light shielding material, and modulates and transmits the incident light; an imaging element that images the incident light modulated by the mask as a pixel signal; and a signal processing unit that reconstructs the pixel signal as a final image by signal processing, the optical axis directions of the lenses to be disposed in the mask are adjusted so that only the incident light having passed through the mask is condensed and enters the imaging element. The present disclosure can be applied to lensless cameras.
