Resolve Optics has supplied an optimized lens system designed to provide high resolution performance for a very large format sensor array used in aerial surveying.
Large format sensors are able to capture an immense amount of detail over an extremely large image. In the context of aerial surveillance, this allows operators to cover a much larger area with a single image. However these large format sensors need a lens to provide a large image while maintaining the very high resolution typically required by surveillance applications.
Design for optimized accuracy
Few lenses are available off the shelf, that provide a large enough image for such applications and a custom design is often the only solution. High resolution, large format lenses place considerable demands on the optical design. Mark Pontin, Managing Director of Resolve Optics Ltd stated: “In order to achieve high resolution throughout the field-of-view requires that the lens elements be centred to a high degree of accuracy. This accuracy was achieved via a novel mechanical design created by our talented optical design team based here in the UK”
