ABSTRACT:
An image producing apparatus is capable of producing image data representing an image of a subject seen from a wide range of directions. An elliptic mirror reflects light radiated from a subject located at one of two focal points of the elliptic mirror. The light reflected by the elliptic mirror travels toward the other one of the two focal points of the elliptic mirror and falls on a fisheye camera disposed at the other one of the two focal points. The fisheye camera senses the incident light and takes an image of the subject.
