"...we have shown that a curved imager provides a large degree of freedom in the design of the camera system, helps reduce fundamental aberrations and provides better resolution and brightness. This was demonstrated using designs for a simple and compact camera system by a full analysis of the characteristics of digital imaging systems with planar and curved FPAs."

This old paper becomes more interesting in light of the recent curved sensor developments. In March 2008, Optics Express published a paper "The optical advantages of curved focal plane arrays" by Staford University team of Seung-Bum Rim, Peter Catrysse, Rostam Dinyari, Kevin Huang, and Peter Peumans:
