Keywords:liquid crystal lens, foveated imaging

We report a foveated imaging system using a liquid crystal (LC) lens. The system is composed of a lens module, an LC lens, and an image sensor. It is possible to obtain images focused in clearly defined ROIs. The principle is discussed and foveated imaging is realized experimentally. The parameters, including the position and aperture of the LC lens, the F number of the lens module, etc., that influence the imaging are studied.
