摘要

592602 Disclosed is an imaging device. The device includes an array of lenses mounted onto a single body (22). The array includes at least two lenses (8, 10) that face in opposing directions so that the field of view of one lens (8) in the array does not overlap with the field of view of any other lens (10) in the array. The axes of the two lenses are fixed to be substantially parallel and the device is adapted to simultaneously capture images from the two lenses (8, 10).
