VERITAS is a new atmospheric Cherenkov imaging telescope array to detect very high energy gamma rays above 100 GeV. The array is located in southern Arizona, USA, at an altitude of 1268m above sea level. The array consists of four 12-m telescopes of Davies-Cotton design and structurally resembling the Whipple 10-m telescope. The four focal plane instruments are equipped with high-resolution (49...

A mosaicked sensor is a monolithic array of many sensors, arranged in a geometric pattern. In the commercial digital color camera market, the mosaicked color filter array (CFA) technique is widely used, in which instead of using three charged coupled devices (CCDs) to capture the red, green, and blue spectral bands for each pixel, each pixel is associated with just one device covered by an opti...

An imaging system includes an array of lenses, a plurality of sensor pixels for each lens, the sensor pixels being on an image plane of the imaging system, and a corresponding plurality of focal plane coding elements. A focal plane coding element for each sensor pixel has multiple sub-pixel resolution elements. The focal plane coding element being between the lens and each sensor pixel, wherein...
