ARRANGEMENT OF MULTIPLE CAMERAS IN A MULTI-DIRECTIONAL STEREO CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

Arrangement of cameras (3) includes at least three camera nests (2) in which the cameras (3) are arranged in such a way that the axis (2) of the field of vision of each camera (3) in the camera nest (2) lies in a common plane (p) of the camera nest (2) and such axes (2) of the fields of vision intersect in a common point which forms the center of the camera nest (2). The normal lines (n) running from each centers of the camera nests (2) intersect in a common point which is the center of the holder's body (1 ). In planar arrangement the holder's body (1) includes a carrier construction in shape of a regular horizontal polygon, whereby in each cusp of the regular polygon there is a camera nest (2) whose number of cameras (3) is chosen in such a way that the camera nest (3) offers a quality 360° view in the vertical direction. In a spatial arrangement the holder's body (1) includes a carrier construction in shape of a regular polyhedron, whereby in each cusp of the regular polyhedron there is a camera nest (2) whose number of cameras is a multiple of the number of edges of the polyhedron's cusp.
