Title:
IMAGING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/021347
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The upper part of an object such as a high−rise building is prevented from being imaged short in a wide−range imaging. Imaging means (5) are arranged at 90° intervals on a base (4), each imaging means (5) has a front lens (8) and an imaging unit (7) on parallel vertical planes, the front lens (8) is shifted on the vertical plane so that the front lens (8) is higher than the imaging unit (7), and the NP points of the imaging means (5) agree with one another. Therefore the parallax is small.
