Abstract: A method for collecting image data destined for producing an immersive video, which method comprises a determination of a zone of viewpoints and the set-up of a set of source points situated at end points of the zone of viewpoints, as well as the placement of each time a scanner of a first set of scanners at each of said source points for scanning step by step a space by means of scanning beams and according to a succession of on the one hand azimuth angles and on the other hand elevation angles each situated in a range predetermined by the zone of viewpoints, and determining on the basis of reflected scanning beams image data formed by a distance between the point touched by a beam and the scanner having produced the concerned scanning beam as well as a colour parameter of said touched point and storing them in a memory.
