DIGITAL 3D/360 DEGREE CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

The digital 3D/360° camera system is an omnidirectional stereoscopic device for capturing image data that may be used to create a 3-dimensional model for presenting a 3D image, a 3D movie, or 3D animation. The device uses multiple digital cameras, arranged with overlapping fields of view, to capture image data covering an entire 360° scene. The data collected by one, or several, digital 3D/360° camera systems can be used to create a 3D model of a 360° scene by using triangulation of the image data within the overlapping fields of view.

主权项

1. A digital 3D/360° camera system, comprising:
a housing; a plurality of digital cameras disposed on said housing, each of the digital cameras having a field of view that overlaps the field of view of least one other of the digital cameras to form a stereoscopic field of view; and a controller having a processor, a memory, a storage device, a clock, a communication interface, and a camera interface, the camera interface being in communication with each of said digital cameras.
