Lens Correction Technologies Technology

ROADIS Technology


The DCU solution incorporates a number of mathematically-based compensation algorithms to correct for each of the identified optical aberrations. Depending on the type of aberration to be corrected, the compensation is based either on a system calibration or is automatic (calibration-free). The correction process is applied to either the raw sensor data or, where possible, and in order to achieve optimum correction results, to the raw data. The algorithms have been designed to be simple so that they can be embedded in the actual device and work within the constrained processing capabilities of this environment.
