Abstract

The invention relates to the field of capturing panospherical image information and according to one aspect, provides an adapter, or a camera, with means to select either an omnidirectional or a normal field of view. According to another aspect, both fields of view are provided. According to a third aspect, the apparatus for capturing omnidirectional information comprises a plurality of planar reflecting surfaces arranged, for example, in a pyramid structure, to reflect light from an annular section of the scene onto a common imaging plane.
