Patent ID: 7214926

Claim:
An imaging system comprising: a first sensor configured to produce a first pixel-level image information from light of a first wavelength incident upon the first sensor; a first lens configured to direct towards the first sensor, multi-wavelength light received from an object to be imaged, the multi-wavelength light comprising light of the first wavelength, the first lens further configured to provide a first modulation transfer function (MTF) when light of the first wavelength is incident on the first lens at a first incident angle with reference to an optical axis of the first lens, the first MTF selected to provide optimal off-axis imaging of the object; a second sensor configured to produce a second pixel-level image information from light of a second wavelength incident upon the second sensor; and a second lens configured to direct towards the second sensor, multi-wavelength light from the object to be imaged, the multi-wavelength light comprising light of the second wavelength, the second lens further configured to provide a second MTF that is different than the first MTF, when light of the second wavelength is incident on the second lens along an optical axis of the second lens, the second MTF selected to provide optimal on-axis imaging of the object.
