Digital camera systems and methods are described that provide a color digital camera with direct luminance detection. The luminance signals are obtained directly from a broadband image sensor channel without interpolation of RGB data. The chrominance signals are obtained from one or more additional image sensor channels comprising red and/or blue color band detection capability. The red and blue signals are directly combined with the luminance image sensor channel signals. The digital camera generates and outputs an image in YCrCb color space by directly combining outputs of the broadband, red and blue sensors.

Disclosed herein, inter alia, are methods and systems of image analysis useful for rapidly identifying and/or quantifying features.

A beam splitting and combining device includes a first prism, a second prism and a first optical film. The first prism includes a first surface, a second surface and a third surface. The second prism includes a fourth surface, a fifth surface and a sixth surface. The fifth surface and the second surface are attached to each other. The first optical film is formed between the second surface and the fifth surface by coating. A beam in a first range of wavelengths is configured to pass through the first surface, the second surface, the first optical film, the fifth surface and the sixth surface in order or in reverse order, or is configured to pass through the first surface and the third surface in order or in reverse order.

A camera system of a mobile device includes: a sensor module disposed in a first body connected to a rotation member of the mobile device; and a lens module disposed in a second body connected to the rotation member. When the first body and the second body are rotated with respect to the rotation member to overlap each other, optical axes of the sensor module and the lens module correspond to each other and are operated as a common camera system, and the common camera system provides a first photographing mode and a second photographing mode with different viewing angles based on two focuses generated by a first geometry phase lens included in the lens module.

A dual-aperture zoom camera comprising a Wide camera with a respective Wide lens and a Tele camera with a respective Tele lens, the Wide and Tele cameras mounted directly on a single printed circuit board, wherein the Wide and Tele lenses have respective effective focal lengths EFL.sub.W and EFL.sub.T and respective total track lengths TTL.sub.W and TTL.sub.T and wherein TTL.sub.W/EFL.sub.W>1.1 and TTL.sub.T/EFL.sub.T<1.0. Optionally, the dual-aperture zoom camera may further comprise an optical OIS controller configured to provide a compensation lens movement according to a user-defined zoom factor (ZF) and a camera tilt (CT) through LMV=CT*EFL.sub.ZF, where EFL.sub.ZF is a zoom-factor dependent effective focal length.

A fluorescence imaging system for imaging an object, the system includes a white light provider that emits white light, an excitation light provider that emits excitation light in a plurality of excitation wavebands for causing the object to emit fluorescent light, a component that directs the white light and excitation light to the object and collects reflected white light and emitted fluorescent light from the object, a filter that blocks light in the excitation wavebands and transmits at least a portion of the reflected white light and fluorescent light, and an image sensor assembly that receives the transmitted reflected white light and the fluorescent light.

Provided is an imaging assembly and a camera. The imaging assembly includes an infrared sensor, a visible light sensor, and a wavelength-selective reflector. The wavelength-selective reflector is configured to reflect the infrared light of the incoming light to the infrared sensor, and transmit the visible light of the incoming light to the visible light sensor. With such a design, the infrared sensor and the visible light sensor can share a part of the optical path to reduce an occurrence possibility of errors between the two, thereby reducing the parallax difference, and optical openings of the imaging assembly can also be reduced. Moreover, since the infrared light and the visible light are from the same incoming light, thereby facilitating matching of a detection result of the infrared sensor and a detection result of the visible light sensor.
