To achieve non-uniform imaging with a large field of view and high efficiency as well as to obtain an adjustable fovea with super-resolution, we proposed a curved retina-like camera array imaging system (CRCS), which is built by an eight-camera array distributed non-uniformly on a curved surface and a camera coaxial with Risley prisms located in the center. By the non-uniform imaging, the field of view of the developed prototype is 150∘×40∘ with a reduction of data redundancy by 87.62%. Besides, the experimental results show that CRCS can obtain clear and sharp images of farther targets of interest around the fovea field of view with a constant focal length.
