PanoramaScanCam


On one of my robots, I wanted to place a camera that could observe everything around it. The camera did not have to have a high frame rate. It was not going to be used for motion capture or real-time autonomous driving. It did need to have a 360 degree field of view. Think in terms of the cameras on the Mars Viking landers of the 1970s.

PanoramaScanCam™ is my implementation of a panoramic camera implemented using the components of a flatbed scanner.
