Camera with panoramic scanning range

This invention describes a camera system designed for capturing panoramic images. It features two cameras: a standard wide-view camera and a compact "folded" camera that uses a rotating mirror to scan the scene. The wide-view camera provides guidance, helping the folded camera capture individual images in the correct sequence to automatically assemble a complete panoramic picture.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in on-device AI for real-time image processing and stitching. These improvements could now make the "tracking information" and panoramic image assembly more seamless and efficient on compact devices.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision optics, rotating mechanism, integrated software
