Abstract
A bore imaging system comprises a photo detector having a readout set of pixels, and a bore surface imaging arrangement that transmits image light from the bore surface to the photo detector. The bore surface imaging arrangement comprises an image geometry transforming fiber bundle comprising a plurality of optical fibers having input ends that are arranged in a first shape to receive light that arises from an image zone and passes through a lens arrangement, and output ends that are arranged in a second shape to transmit the image light to the readout set of pixels, wherein the outputs ends or the readout set of pixels are configured such that at least 25% of the readout set of pixels receive the transmitted image light. High image data rates and good image resolution may thereby be provided in a borescope without using custom photo detectors.
