MOVABLE APPARATUS AND INSTALLATION METHOD FOR IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18472278 titled 'MOVABLE APPARATUS AND INSTALLATION METHOD FOR IMAGING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a movable apparatus with an imaging device that can capture images with high resolution across a wide range. The apparatus includes a first imaging device with an optical system that forms an optical image with a low resolution region near the optical axis and a high resolution region outside the low resolution region.
- The movable apparatus is configured with a first imaging device at a specific installation position to capture images in various directions.
- The first imaging device has an optical system that allows for high resolution imaging in the region outside the low resolution area near the optical axis.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Surveillance systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Aerial photography
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of capturing high-resolution images across a wide range of directions with a single imaging device.
Benefits
- Improved image quality
- Simplified imaging setup
- Enhanced surveillance capabilities
Potential Commercial Applications
"High-Resolution Imaging Apparatus for Surveillance Systems"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to movable imaging devices with high-resolution capabilities, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the movable apparatus handle image stabilization during capture?
The patent application does not mention any specific details about image stabilization technology used in the movable apparatus.
What is the power source for the movable apparatus?
The abstract does not provide information on the power source for the apparatus, which could be crucial for its operation and mobility.
Original Abstract Submitted
In order to dispose an imaging device so that it can image a wide range with high resolution, a movable apparatus is configured such that a first imaging device is installed at a first installation position, the first imaging device including an optical system that forms an optical image, which has a low resolution region near an optical axis and a high resolution region outside the low resolution region, on a light receiving surface of an imaging element, and the first installation position being a position where an image is captured in at least one of a horizontal backward direction of one side surface of the movable apparatus, right or left direction in a horizontal direction ahead a driver's seat of the movable apparatus, and a downward direction ahead the movable apparatus in the high resolution region of the optical system.
