A panoramic photography head for easily photographing a plurality of images having different orientations without any vignetting in order to generate a panoramic image and to provide a photography system using the panoramic photography head are provided. A panoramic photography system includes: a digital camera body with a lens having a predetermined field of view at a front end thereof and can photograph a digital image; a panoramic photography head connected to a lower surface of the digital camera body; and a legged platform connected to a lower surface of the panoramic photography head. The panoramic photography head includes: an approximately horizontal upper plate having a second connector for realizing non-rotatably connection to the first connector; a vignetting preventing extension that is bent downward from the upper plate to secure a predetermined gap so as to prevent the panoramic photography head and the legged platform from being photographed in an image; and a lower plate that extends approximately horizontally and toward a front side from a lower end of the vignetting preventing extension and has a legged platform connector for connection to the legged platform. The legged platform connector is positioned vertically under a nodal point of the lens.

An imaging sensor system, having a view of a target area comprising: a rigid mount unit having at least two imaging sensors disposed within the mount unit, wherein a first imaging and a second imaging sensor each has a focal axis passing through an aperture in the mount unit, wherein the first imaging sensor generates a first image area comprising a first data array of pixels and the second imaging sensor generates a second image area comprising a second data array of pixels, wherein the first and second imaging sensors are offset to have a first image overlap area in the target area, wherein the first sensors image data bisects the second sensors image data in the first image overlap area.

A camera assembly (10) for the inspection of passageways, particularly wellbores, and designed to operate in high temperature environments. A camera assembly for the inspection of wellbores comprises an elongate housing (12) having a first end (30) and a second end (42) and, extending between the ends, a side wall comprising an inner wall (22) and an outer wall (24), with a vacuum formed between the inner and outer walls; an elongate relay lens (52) having a first end (56) and a second end (62), the relay lens being located within the housing; an optically transparent window (46) located at the first end of the relay lens; an image sensor (48) located at the second end of the relay lens for capturing an image of an object viewable through the relay lens and window; and a light source (16) arranged to emit light from the housing, for illuminating the viewable object.

A turntable with a light transmission round platter and at least one light collection spindle is provided. The light transmission round platter connects to the light collection spindle, and the light collection spindle is driven by a motor to rotate the light transmission round platter. A portion of surface of the light collection spindle is frosted. The incident light from a bottom or a lateral side is collected in a light collection area of the spindle and then transmitted toward a conjunctive area of the light transmission round platter via a transparent and smooth light guiding area, so as to lighten the originally dark conjunctive area and reduce the darkness thereof. Accordingly, the time spent in background removal of the dark conjunctive area can be reduced since the conjunctive area is lighted when the light transmission round platter is rotated for photographing an object to be photographed thereon.

A mobile terminal includes a terminal body and a camera module. The terminal body includes a housing and a control module. The housing is provided with a viewfinder window. The camera module includes a lens component and an image sensor. The lens component includes a lens frame, a concave lens, and a convex lens. The image sensor is fixed inside the housing and is located at a side of the convex lens away from the concave lens. The image sensor is electrically connected to the control module so as to control the image sensor using the control module to recognize an object image from outside of the viewfinder window.

An image display device according to an aspect of the present technology includes an emission portion, a transparent base material, an irradiation target, and an optical portion. The emission portion emits image light along a predetermined axis. The transparent base material includes a tapered surface having a tapered shape along the predetermined axis. The irradiation target is disposed at at least a part around the predetermined axis along the tapered surface. The optical portion controls an incident angle of the image light on the irradiation target, the image light having been emitted from the emission portion, the optical portion being disposed in a manner that the optical portion faces the emission portion on the basis of the predetermined axis.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of digital projection display, and discloses a projection method and a projection apparatus. The method includes: acquiring a target object image; identifying attribute information of a target object based on the target object image; acquiring preset projection content based on the attribute information of the target object; acquiring a projection path; and projecting a projection screen based on the preset projection content and controlling the projection screen to move along the projection path. In this way, the projection is more flexible and more pertinent.

Technologies are generally described for optical image diversion to provide image capture and display from one or more directions using an image sensor. In some examples, an optical assembly may be used to receive light or other electromagnetic radiation from multiple (including opposing) directions and to provide light or other electromagnetic radiation to an image sensor or detector to capture images. The optical assembly may be centrally-aligned or offset. The optical assembly may be configured to allow collection of light or other electromagnetic radiation from two or more locations. An auto focus or stabilization element may be integrated into one or more optical paths inside an optical switching device. In other examples, a conical or spherical element may be employed to allow capture of panoramic/360 degree images or video. Elements may also be stacked. Furthermore, the optical assembly may be configured to split an optical beam to allow tiling or superimposition of images from different directions at the image sensor.
