One kind of the panoramic imaging apparatus and method

The present invention discloses a panoramic imaging apparatus and method. The long focal length through specially designed large panoramic imaging Mianzhe trans ring lens-average plane or spherical surface divided into the large circular plane the image plane into sub-image of a plurality of annular sectors, each sub-image plane or extended sub-image surface after transfer by size matching tapered optical fiber panel to the corresponding image sensor, the image processing unit and finally all the image received by the sensor to expand the image into a rectangular image is then formed in the image plane annular on the order of successively spliced ​​together to obtain a panoramic image, the panoramic image is finally transferred to the display unit for display. The method and apparatus by a tapered fiber optic faceplate with a large focal length panoramic imaging Mianzhe trans annulus combined lens, the image plane large real-time 360-degree panoramic imaging circumferential view, the image sensor using a plurality of image stitching can be greater the image plane, the image resolution can be improved while the edge portion of the field of view.
