Abstract
In this paper, we present an <i>N</i>-ocular imaging system with tilted
image sensors to improve the depth resolution for objects under fixed system
resource constraints. A nonplanar arrangement of image sensors enables one
to improve the system performance due to the increase in the common field
of view (FOV). We analyze the depth resolution based on the two point sources
resolution criterion as a function of sensing parameters such as the number
of cameras, the number of pixels, parallax, pixel size, and focal length.
We carry out Monte Carlo simulations in the analysis. The results indicate
that the proposed method may improve the common FOV zone and thus provide
improved depth resolution for <i>N</i>-ocular imaging system when the objects are not very far from the
sensors.
