Abstract:
A multiple-lens camera has only one image sensor to capture a number of images at different viewing angles. Using a single image sensor, instead of a number of separate image sensors, to capture multiple images simultaneously, one can avoid the calibration process to calibrate the different image sensors to make sure that color balance and the gain are the same for all the image sensors used. The camera has an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the distance between the image lenses, and a processor to receive from the image sensor electronic signals indicative of image data of the captured of images. The camera has a connector to transfer the processed image data to an external device or to an image display. The image display device is configured to display one of said plurality of images.
