An imaging lens assembly includes a total of six lens elements which are, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element and a sixth lens element. The first lens element has positive refractive power. The second lens element has negative refractive power. The fifth lens element has negative refractive power. The sixth lens element has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof.

An image capturing apparatus includes a plurality of imaging devices each of which including an optical system and an image sensor; and a processor. The processor is configured to control the plurality of imaging devices to capture images at a different timing; and combine the images captured by the plurality of imaging devices to generate a combined image. The images to be combined are images captured by the plurality of imaging devices at different timings.

A multi-input folded camera includes a plurality of folding devices, a common lens array, and a sensor. The folding devices change paths lights that are incident to the folding devices and output a plurality of folded lights propagating along a plurality of paths. The common lens array combines the folded lights received through an input surface of the common lens array to output a combined light through an output surface of the common lens array. The sensor is at an optical axis of the common lens array to receive the combined light. Performance of a mobile device including the multi-input folded camera is enhanced by sufficient light amounts using the multiple folding devices and combining the lights through the multiple light paths. In implementing an under display camera (UDC), an entire-region display is supported without an aperture in a display panel.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an apparatus including multiple image sensors sharing one or more optical paths for imaging. An example method includes identifying whether a device including a first aperture, a first image sensor, a second image sensor, and an optical element is to be in a first device mode or a second device mode. The method also includes controlling the optical element based on the identified device mode. The optical element directs light from the first aperture to the first image sensor in a first optical element mode. Light from the first aperture is directed to the second image sensor when the optical element is in the second optical element mode.

A cellular trail camera system is disclosed and may include a housing; a mounting bracket for mounting the camera; a visible sensor; an infrared sensor; and a plurality of Fresnel lenses each operable to be individually mounted to or with the infrared sensor and to focus infrared light to the infrared sensor from a different direction. One of the Fresnel lenses may be mounted to or with the housing during operation. The housing may include a wireless transceiver, which may communicate via a cellular network. The camera may communicate with a wireless communication device via the wireless transceiver. The camera may communicate images and/or video to the wireless device. The infrared sensor may include a plurality of elements. The camera may be powered by a solar cell that is mounted on the camera or remote from the camera. The visible sensor may be activated when the infrared sensor detects a heat-generating object.

A signal processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a positioner and a synthesizer. The positioner generates, on the basis of two pieces of RAW data different in angle of view from each other, positioning data of the two pieces of RAW data. The synthesizer synthesizes the two pieces of RAW data with each other on the basis of the positioning data generated by the positioner.

An optical system includes two imaging optical systems, each imaging optical system including a reflective optical element having a reflecting surface and a held part at a different position from the reflecting surface, the reflecting surface configured to reflect light incident from a subject side; a first holding body configured to hold the held part of the reflective optical element of one of the imaging optical systems; and a second holding body configured to hold the held part of the reflective optical element of the other one of the imaging optical systems. When the first holding body is combined with the second holding body, the reflecting surface of the reflective optical element of the one of the imaging optical systems is opposed to the reflecting surface of the reflective optical element of the other one of the imaging optical systems.
