CA 2752491

A camera (150) has a sensor (160) which is non-planar. The sensor comprises a plurality of planar facets (162) which form an array having a curvilinear configuration, facets in a central region having a greater pixel density than facets nearer the edge of the array. The camera has movable shade elements (184, 186) which shade the lens from extraneous light and which can be extended in dependence upon the angle of view. To compensate for gaps (164) between the facets (162), a composite image is formed from two successive exposures; a mechanism (190) is provided for tilting the lens between the exposures.

L'invention concerne un appareil photo (150) doté d'un capteur (160) non plan. Le capteur comporte une pluralité de facettes planes (162) qui forment une matrice présentant une configuration curviligne, les facettes situées dans une région centrale présentant une plus grande densité de pixels que les facettes plus proches du bord de la matrice. L'appareil photo est doté d'éléments mobiles (184, 186) d'ombrage qui protège l'objectif de la lumière parasite et qui peuvent être déployés en fonction de l'angle de vision. Afin de compenser les lacunes (164) existant entre les facettes (162), une image composite est formée à partir de deux expositions successives ; un mécanisme (190) est incorporé afin d'incliner l'objectif entre les expositions.
