METHOD AND MECHANISM FOR AUTOMATIC OPPOSING ALIGNMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE CAPTURE

摘要

A method and associated mechanism for automatic opposing alignment of photographic image capture is disclosed. A lens mount (101) supports at least an objective lens (102) of wide angle lens. To capture opposing images, the lens mount (101) is rotated about an axis (104) which intersects a plane of the objective lens (102) which signifies the objective lens' field-of-view. In a preferred embodiment, the plane signifies the objective lens' 180 degree field-of-view. By using the disclosed method and associated mechanism, the captured opposing images are more readilly combined into a spherical image.
