    Area of Science:

    • Optical engineering
    • Imaging systems

    Background:

    • First-generation monocentric multiscale gigapixel cameras utilized Keplerian designs for complete field coverage.
    • Keplerian designs necessitate overlapping subimages, which can limit system efficiency and performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore alternative optical designs for multiscale gigapixel cameras that remove the requirement for adjacent subimage overlap.
    • To investigate the potential of Galilean designs to enhance system volume, illumination, and image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of optical designs, specifically comparing Keplerian and Galilean configurations for monocentric multiscale gigapixel cameras.
    • Evaluation of design constraints, including subimage overlap, entrance aperture placement, and field-of-view gap filling.

    Main Results:

    • Removing the subimage overlap constraint enables the use of Galilean designs.
    • Galilean designs offer reduced system volume, improved relative illumination, and enhanced image quality.
    • Moving the entrance aperture approximates telecentricity, and multiple co-boresighted cameras can fill field-of-view gaps.
    • Galilean systems can achieve a 10x reduction in total volume compared to Keplerian designs, even with multiple cameras.

    Conclusions:

    • Galilean designs represent a significant advancement over Keplerian designs for monocentric multiscale gigapixel cameras.
    • These new designs offer substantial improvements in size, image quality, and efficiency.
    • The flexibility of Galilean systems allows for optimized performance and reduced footprint in high-resolution imaging applications.
