  • Patent number: 8253777
    Abstract: An exemplary panoramic camera includes a housing, camera modules received in the housing, viewfinders, and an image processor. Each camera module includes a lens, a reflective mirror, and an image sensor in an order written from an object side to an image side. The camera modules cooperatively form a 360 degrees view image of the surrounding scene. An angle is defined between the plane of the reflective mirror and a light sensing surface of the image sensor. Each reflective mirror is rotatable between a first position where the angle is an acute angle, light is reflected by the reflective mirror to the corresponding viewfinder, and a second position where the angle is about 90 degrees, light is incident upon the light sensing surface of the image sensor.
