Throwable camera and network for operating the same

摘要

A camera thrown or projected into an airborne trajectory, and an image capture system with network devices collaborating for the purpose of generating panoramic images and video sourced from network cameras thrown or projected in independent trajectories, and cameras capable of capturing stable image and video from spinning, spiraling and precessing apertures, and a throwable cameras streamlined in response to aerodynamic forces acting on respective housings.

主权项

1. An image capture apparatus comprising:
a housing suitable for being thrown into an airborne trajectory; at least one camera positioned in the housing with at least a partial view to the exterior environment; at least one orientation sensor positioned in the housing that determines the orientation of the image capture apparatus with respect to ground; and a processing unit having inputs electrically connected to the at least one camera and the at least one orientation sensor, the processing unit rotating a captured image in response to a signal from the at least one orientation sensor.
