    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for replaceable outer lenses. For example, an image capture device may include a lens barrel in a body of the image capture device, the lens barrel including multiple inner lenses; a replaceable lens structure that is mountable on the body of the image capture device, the replaceable lens structure including an outer lens and a retaining ring configured to fasten the outer lens in a position covering a first end the lens barrel in a first arrangement and configured to disconnect the outer lens from the body of the image capture device in a second arrangement; and an image sensor mounted within the body at a second end of the lens barrel, the image sensor configured to capture images based on light incident on the image sensor through the outer lens and the multiple inner lenses when the retaining ring is in the first arrangement.

    Abstract: An image capture device is described that includes a body; a mounting structure that is connected to the body; an integrated sensor-lens assembly (ISLA) that defines an optical axis and extends through the body and the mounting structure; and an accessory that is releasably connectable to the mounting structure via rotation through a range of motion less than approximately 90 degrees. The mounting structure and the accessory include corresponding angled bearing surfaces that are configured for engagement such that rotation of the accessory relative to the mounting structure creates a bearing effect that displaces the accessory along the optical axis to thereby reduce any axial force required during connection and disconnection of the accessory.

    Abstract: Devices for active athermalization and lens position indexing include an image capture device that includes a lens assembly, a lens mount, a memory, a printed circuit board (PCB), an image sensor, a temperature sensor, and actuator, and a processor. The memory stores a calibration look up table (LUT) that includes focus positions across a temperature range. The image sensor may be disposed on the PCB. The temperature sensor measures a temperature of the lens assembly. The processor determines a position of the lens assembly relative to the image sensor to maintain a focus point over the temperature range based on the calibration LUT, the measured temperature, or both. The processor may be configured to transmit a control signal to the actuator to modify the position of the lens assembly relative to the image sensor to maintain the focus point based on the measured temperature.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for replaceable outer lenses for use in water. For example, an image capture device may include a lens barrel in a body of the image capture device; a replaceable lens structure mountable on the body of the image capture device, the replaceable lens structure including a first set of two or more stacked lenses, including a first outer lens, and a first retaining ring configured to fasten the first set of two or more stacked lenses against a first end of the lens barrel in a first arrangement, wherein the first set of two or more stacked lenses is configured to collimate light incident on the first outer lens when the first outer lens is underwater at an interface between the lens barrel and the first replaceable lens structure; and an image sensor mounted within the body at a second end of the lens barrel.
