A close-distance vehicle front-view Tessar lens with strong distinguishability and broad field of view was designed based on artificial intelligence target recognition. Using ZEMAX software, parameter optimization design is carried out by controlling geometric aberrations such as field curvature and distortion. When the designed lens has F-number of 3.4, focal length of 6 mm, maximum field of view of 50°, and depth of field of 10 m, the modulation transfer function of the entire field of view at the spatial frequency of 107 lp/mm is higher than 0.65, and the distortion is less than 0.305%, which meets the design requirements. According to the Monte Carlo study, the tolerances are within the machinable range, making them suitable for conventional production and assembly.
