ABSTRACT:
A pyramid shaped group of reflective surfaces segment a field of view. Each of the reflective surfaces of the pyramid provides a segment of the field of view to a lens which focuses the segment onto a sensor. The pyramid shaped collection of reflective surfaces provide each of the sensors with a common center of projection. This avoids distortions that may result from using sensors with differing centers of projection. The sensors provide an electronic representation of the image for storage or other uses. The sensor used to receive each segment may have a low resolution, but since the low resolution sensor is only capturing a segment of the image, the overall effect is to capture the entire image at a high resolution.
