Abstract
A multi-imager camera having a focusing means attached to each imager in the form of a Z actuator and having an image-splitting optical assembly that splits the scene's energy to the individual imagers while maintaining the full scene coverage and while having all imagers placed in the same back-focal-distance that matches that of the camera's lens. The above camera focuses the individual imagers to different parts of the scene by individually controlling the Z actuator of each imager, and captures all images instantaneously for real-time on-board image processing or for post processing.
