Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus comprising: a lens group which forms a concave focal surface; an optical unit comprising: an image sensor disposed under the optical unit, wherein the plurality of light guides are a plurality of artificial ommatidia and the optical unit is an artificial ommatidia unit, wherein each of the plurality of light guides of the optical unit comprises: wherein each of the plurality of light guides is perpendicular to a respective tangent of the curved top surface where a top surface of the waveguide intersects the curved top surface, such that a first light guide, of the plurality of light guides, is perpendicular to a first tangent where a top surface of a waveguide of the first light guide intersects the curved top surface, and a second light guide, of the plurality of light guides, is perpendicular to a second tangent where a top surface of a waveguide of the second light guide intersects the curved top surface, and wherein the first tangent is different from the second tangent.
