Abstract:
A vehicular camera includes an imaging array sensor that includes one million photosensors arranged in rows and columns and a microlens array. The microlens array includes a plurality of microlenses disposed at the imaging array sensor. Each individual microlens of the plurality of microlenses includes a respective plurality of refractive indices. The microlens array is disposed at the imaging array sensor so that light incident at the vehicular camera passes through the microlens array to be incident at the imaging array sensor. Light incident at and passing through each individual microlens of the microlens array is incident at a respective sub-array of the photosensors of the imaging array sensor. The vehicular camera is configured to be disposed at a vehicle equipped with a vehicular vision system.
