A cellular telephone comprising a flat monitor screen that tilts and maneuvers in a 360° degree rotation while remaining within the inner frame/body of said cellular telephone or while in the course of protracting outward extending from with the inner body of said cellular telephone or while in the course of retracting inward back inside the inner body of said cellular telephone. One embodiment of said cellular telephone comprises a flat monitor screen camera that tilts and maneuvers in synchronization with said cellular telephone monitor screen in a 360° degree rotation while remaining within the frame/body of said cellular telephone or while in the course of protracting extending outwards extending from within the inner body of said cellular telephone. Another embodiment of said cellular telephone comprising a flat speaker/transmitter button that protracts outward ‘creating’ a (four) level speaker/transmitter pyramid that also retracts inward reverting back to its original origin.

An embodiment comprises: a lens module; a first optical path change part including an incident surface and an emitting surface, and reflecting light, which is incident onto the incident surface, to emit the light via the emitting surface; and a second optical path change part including a first surface which faces the emitting surface in an optical axial direction of the lens module and a second surface which is an opposite surface to the first surface, wherein, in order to change the path of light emitted via the emitting surface, the first optical path change part is tilted or rotated about a first axis perpendicular to the optical axial direction, and, in order to change the path of light emitted from the second surface, the second optical path change part is tilted or rotated about a second axis perpendicular to the optical axial direction and the first axis.

An image pickup apparatus includes a tilt driving unit configured to change a tilt so as to change an angle between an image pickup plane of an image sensor and a principal plane of an image pickup optical system, a focus driving unit configured to drive a focus lens, and at least one processor that functions as an area setting unit configured to set a plurality of areas in a captured image, a defocus information detection unit configured to detect defocus information for each of the plurality of areas, and a control unit configured to select one control mode from a plurality of control modes based on the defocus information on each of the plurality of areas, the plurality of control modes being used for performing focusing control using at least one of the tilt driving unit and the focus driving unit.

A system and method. The system may include a display, a lens having distortion, an image generator, and a processor. The lens may be configured to focus light received from an environment. The image generator may be configured to receive the light from the lens and output a stream of images as image data, wherein each of the stream of images is distorted. The processor may be configured to: receive the image data from the image generator; detect a point source object in the stream of images of the image data; enhance the point source object in the stream of images of the image data; undistort the stream of images of the image data having an enhanced point source object; and output a stream of undistorted images as undistorted image data to the display.

A multi-aperture imaging device is provided that includes an image sensor and an array of adjacently arranged optical channels. Each optical channel includes an optic for imaging at least one partial field of view of a total field of view onto an image sensor area of the image sensor. The device has a beam-deflector for deflecting an optical path of the optical channels and the beam-deflector includes a first beam-deflecting area operative for a first wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation passing through the optical channel; and a includes second beam-deflecting area operative for a second wavelength range of the electromagnetic radiation passing through the optical channels. The second wavelength range is different from the first wavelength range.

An over-glasses apparatus, configured to be associated with a pair of glasses worn by a user, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support structure, an eye tracking system, an image sensor, an actuation system of the image sensor, a camera housing, and means for processing and control. Advantageously, the image sensor and the actuation system of the image sensor are within the camera housing, arranged substantially in correspondence with a longitudinally median part of the main body, so that the camera housing intercepts an axis that connects the user's pupils.

A lens module is provided. The lens module includes a first driving unit configured to move a first lens barrel along an optical axis direction; and a second driving unit configured to move a second lens barrel along the optical axis direction, wherein the second driving unit is disposed between the first lens barrel and the second lens barrel and is configured to change a distance between the first lens barrel and the second lens barrel.

A camera (10) that has four imaging means (12), each arranged to capture a different field of view and each associated with a separate sensor or detector (20). Each imaging means (12) is tilted to capture light from a zenith above the camera. The four imaging means (12) are equally spaced around a central axis, so that each contributes around a quarter of the scene being imaged.

Devices disclosed herein feature a Wide camera with a Wide field of view (FOV.sub.w), a folded Tele camera with a Tele field of view (FOV.sub.T) smaller than the FOV.sub.w and including an optical path folding element (OPFE). The device may be configured to rotate the OPFE to thereby shift FOV.sub.T relative to FOV.sub.w in response to recognition of an object or subject of interest detected in FOV.sub.w or FOV.sub.T. The device can have high resolution in this overlapping FOV either by fusing the Wide and Tele images or by capturing and saving the Tele image.
