Patent Images

1. An electronic imaging system for capturing an image, the system comprising;

  • a lens for producing a optical image; and

    an imaging sensor, having a surface in optical communication with the lens, for converting the optical image into a corresponding output signal, the imaging sensor comprising a plurality of imaging elements, the plurality of imaging elements having a distribution on the surface representable by a nonlinear function;

    wherein the distribution of imaging elements has a relatively low density at a center point of the surface and a relatively high density at a point along a periphery of the surface and wherein each of the plurality of imaging elements is addressable by a two-dimensional address.
