The present application provides a camera module array, comprising at least two camera modules, wherein at least one of the camera modules has a free-form lens sheet, and the free-form lens sheet performs active alignment according to an actual imaging result received by a photosensitive chip, so that a difference between an actual reference direction of the free-form lens sheet and a reference direction determined by an optical design is not greater than 0.05 degrees. The present application further provides a corresponding assembly method for camera module array. In the present application, a TTL of the camera modules can be reduced by means of the free-form lens sheet so as to, for example, make a TTL of a wide-angle module equal or approximately equal to a TTL of a telephoto module, so that a dual-camera module composed of the wide-angle module and the telephoto module is easily mounted in a terminal device such as a mobile phone. The present application can also effectively improve the mounting precision of the free-form lens sheet.

Systems and techniques are described for controlling digital imaging field of view. A device's first image sensor captures a first image based on first light redirected by a light redirection element, and the device's second image sensor captures a second image based on second light redirected by the light redirection element. The device can modify the first image and second image using perspective distortion correction, and can generate a combined image with a large field of view by combining the first image and the second image. The light redirection element can include two prisms that have corners cut and polished to form edges, which can be coupled together and/or colored. A refractive index of the adhesive can be selected to minimize light noise in the combined image. A light-absorbent colorant can coat the interface between the edges of the prisms to minimize light noise in the combined image.
