  • Publication number: 20190289173
    Abstract: A camera system includes an array of image sensor assemblies, relay lenses and image processing electronics internal to the camera housing. The image sensor assemblies and relay lenses rotate about the rotation axis such that the image sensor assembly captures light focused into the camera housing by a main imaging lens on an external surface of the camera housing. The camera system is configured to capture images using the lens assemblies and process the images as they are read from the image sensors into a high frame rate video stream. The camera system may be able to configure elements of the camera system to improve the quality of the images used in the video stream.

  • Publication number: 20040085476
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital image capture system that uses modular replaceable image sensor components. The present invention permits a plurality of image sensors with different optical and opto-electronic properties to be used in the same camera body. The digital camera system of the present invention includes a camera body having a digital interface card connector, lens and series of digital interface cards each of which may interconnected to the camera body. Image sensors are positioned on the interface cards such that it when the card is placed in the camera by engaging the connector, the image sensor is aligned to the light from the lens. A microprocessor affixed within camera body is in electrical communication with said connector for receiving and processing image data communicated through said connector from said image sensor.
