Patent

CA 2187834

A nearly spherical view is provided using five cameras. Four cameras provide a 360 degree view of an area using a four sided pyramid shaped element. The four sides of the pyramid shaped element are reflective and reflect images from four differentdirections. Each camera is positioned to receive a reflected image from one of the reflective sides of the pyramid. The four cameras are arranged so that they share a common virtual optical center. A fifth camera with a wide angle lens is positioned with the camera's optical center positioned at the common virtual optical center. The fifth camera has a view in the direction of the pyramid's base to provide a nearly spherical view when combined with the 360 degree view of the other cameras.
