Patent ID: 8634014

Claim:
An imaging device analysis system comprising: a light source that outputs light for use in analyzing at least one imaging component comprising a lens of an imaging device that generates images responsive to received light, wherein the light source outputs first light having a first wavelength characteristic at a first moment in time and outputs second light having a second wavelength characteristic different from the first wavelength characteristic at a second moment in time, and the light source outputs the second light as a plurality of light beams directed along different respective spatially separated beam paths; and processing circuitry that is coupled with the light source and controls the light source to optically communicate the light to the imaging device and to lock a focus of the lens of the imaging device using the light of the first wavelength characteristic at the first moment in time, wherein the processing circuitry accesses image data generated by the imaging device in response to receipt of the light from the light source having the second wavelength characteristic at the second moment in time with the focus of the lens locked, the processing circuitry identifies in the image data areas corresponding to locations of an image sensor of the imaging device that received light of second wavelength characteristic, and the processing circuitry determines whether a chromatic aberration is present within the lens based on an analysis of the identified areas.
