This paper investigates the use of fish-eye optics as an alternative to the conventional super wide-angle lens for vision metrology. The fish-eye design, whilst still retro-focus in construction, rejects the design constraints of rectilinear imaging in exchange for more even illumination across the image format and the expectation of reduced lens aberration effects. 1, record 1, English, - fish%20eye%20optics
