Based on bionic compound eye and human foveated imaging mechanisms, a hybrid bionic image sensor (HBIS) is proposed in this paper to extend the field of view (FOV) with high resolution. First, the hybrid bionic imaging model was developed and the structure parameters of the HBIS were deduced. Second, the properties of the HBIS were simulated, including FOV extension, super-resolution imaging, foveal ratio and so on. Third, a prototype of the HBIS was developed to validate the theory. Imaging experiments were carried out, and the results are in accordance with the simulations, proving the potential of the HBIS for large FOV and high-resolution imaging with low cost.
