An imaging system for creating an image of a target object comprising a mirror mounted on a gimbal and arranged to rotate about at least one axis, a gimbal drive unit configured to control the orientation of the gimbal, and a camera having its optical axis directed onto the mirror in order that an image reflected in the mirror is within a field of view of the camera, wherein the control unit is arranged to position the gimbal such that a reflection of a target object is within a field of view of the camera.

A folded camera may include folded optics arrangement positioned optically in front of an image sensor. The folded optics arrangement may include one or more light-folding elements and a lens group having one or more lens elements. Light may pass through the folded optics arrangement, within which the light be folded or redirected by the light-folding element, to focus on an image plane on the image sensor. The folded camera may include a shape-memory actuator having one or more shape-memory elements, whose lengths and/or shapes may be controlled by regulating individual temperatures of the shape-memory elements. The shape-memory actuator may move the lens group relative to the image sensor to implement various autofocus (AF) functions. The folded camera may include a voice coil motor (VCM) which may be controlled to move the image sensor relative to the lens group to perform various optical image stabilization (OIS) functions.

A surveillance camera includes a housing containing a camera module, an optical reflection component, and a first driving component. The camera module has a fixed position and is disposed opposite to a reflective surface of the optical reflection component, which is disposed in a transparent portion of the housing. The reflective surface is positioned at an angle with respect to the input axis of the camera module to reflect light received through the transparent housing portion to the camera module. The camera module captures an image by detecting the light reflected to it by the reflective surface. The first driving component drives the optical reflection component to rotate the reflective surface around the input axis of the camera module, such that the camera module captures images carried by light from different directions through the transparent portion of the housing without rotation of the camera module itself.

This camera actuator comprises: an optical path bending member; a lens unit disposed at a subsequent stage of the optical path bending member; a first actuator that is disposed near the optical path bending member and displaces the optical path bending member; and a second actuator and a third actuator that are disposed near the lens unit so as to be apart from each other in a first direction, and that respectively displace the lens unit in a second direction and a third direction that are orthogonal to the first direction and orthogonal to each other. As a result, the present invention provides a camera actuator capable of improving the degree of freedom of design around the optical path bending member.
