MULTIPLE IMAGER CAMERA

A multiple imager camera (10) includes a block (20), an imager (16), and an alignment apparatus (24). The block (20) is configured to direct an image to a plurality of imagers (16A, 16B, 16C) located proximate to a plurality of apertures (22A, 22B, 22C) defined by the block (20). The imager (16) of the plurality of imagers (16A, 16B, 16C) is configured to receive the image through an aperture (22) of the plurality of apertures (22A, 22B, 22C). The alignment apparatus (24) is interposed between the block (20) and the imager (16). The alignment apparatus (24) is configured to allow for six degrees of freedom to align the imager (16) with the image. The six degrees of freedom include adjustment along a x-axis (41), a y-axis (42), and a z-axis (43) of the aperture (22), and adjustment about a pitch-axis (44), a yaw-axis (45), and a roll-axis (46) of the aperture (22). The alignment apparatus (24) is further configured to fixedly couple the imager (16) to the block (20) after the imager (16) is aligned with the image.
