The defocusing problem has been considered the main bottleneck for developing optoelectronic μ-compound eye (CE) cameras. Here, the authors report miniature optoelectronic CE cameras with an ommatidia logarithmic-profile. The camera enables large field-of-view imaging, spatial position identification, and sensitive trajectory monitoring of moving targets.
