Abstract
An imaging system including a front aperture, two or more refractive lens elements mounted in a lens barrel, and a photosensor. One or more of the components of the imaging system (e.g., the aperture, lenses, lens groups, and/or photosensor) are tilted with respect to each other and/or with respect to a center (or mechanical) axis of the imaging system to compensate for effects including but not limited to keystone distortion, resolution non-uniformity, and gradient blur that result from tilt of an object in the field of view of the camera with respect to the center axis of the camera.
