Dual lens system having a light splitter
First Claim
1. A system for capturing images, said system comprising:
- an optical element configured to separate light into a first light beam and a second light beam;
a first lens module configured to focus the first light beam;
a second lens module configured to focus the second light beam;
a first sensor having a first sensor size and configured to capture a first image from the first light beam focused by the first lens module onto the first sensor;
a second sensor having a second sensor size and configured to capture a second image from the second light beam focused by the second lens module onto the second sensor, wherein the second sensor size is different from the first sensor size; and
one or more processors configured to;
modify the first image or the second image based on the first sensor size and the second sensor size to generate a modified image; and
generate a combined image based on the modified image, wherein the first sensor size is a first pixel size and the second sensor size is a second pixel size, and wherein modifying the first image comprises scaling the first image by
