Description

  The present invention relates to a technical field in which image information transmitted from all directions and all directions using electromagnetic waves in a specific range of electromagnetic waves including ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, particularly visible light as a medium, is captured as a moving image.

  There is already a system that easily collects moving image information transmitted by visible light from a range of 360 ° horizontal angle of view. (For example, products in which the invention of the following patent document is implemented)

Special table 2003-528351 public information

  With the conventional methods represented by the above, even if it is possible to easily collect visible moving image information in the range of 360 ° horizontal angle, it is impossible to easily collect moving image information in the range of 120 ° or more vertical angle of view. In addition, there is a problem that electromagnetic waves other than visible light are not supported.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and electromagnetic waves in a specific range of electromagnetic waves including ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation from all directions and all directions including a field of view having a horizontal field angle of 360 degrees and a vertical field angle of 180 degrees. An object is to easily capture and collect moving image information transmitted on the medium.

Means to solve the problem

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems.
The moving image pickup apparatus according to the present invention is capable of collecting electromagnetic waves in a specific range of electromagnetic waves including ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation from 180 degrees or more in both horizontal and vertical directions, that is, from all directions of the hemisphere or hemisphere. is there. The moving image shot by the moving image capturing device is recorded and stored in a storage device connected to the moving image device. The present invention is characterized by combining two systems capable of capturing a hemispherical image composed of such a moving image pickup device and a storage device as a moving image so as to cover the whole sky.

  Further, the moving image recorded in each storage device according to the present invention records all information collected from the hemisphere as a moving image, and the moving image information recorded in the two storage devices by the subsequent image processing is recorded. It is characterized by being combined as video information collected from the whole sky and can be used for various purposes.

The invention's effect

Since the system embodying the present invention has a function of collecting information coming from all directions in space, it can be applied in various fields as follows.

It is installed on a satellite and dynamically collects electromagnetic waves coming from all outer space, records the information on it, and uses it for subsequent analysis.

The weather information of each place is recorded as an all-sky video and used for subsequent analysis.

It is installed in the city, on the streets, precious buildings, financial institutions, etc., and always records the surrounding environment and provides it for the purpose of safety management.

The event venues, amusement parks, etc. will be recorded as videos and used for publicity purposes.

Installed on highways, etc., to distribute traffic information.

Record landscape information and use it for entertainment such as computer games and arts.

It is formed as an in-vehicle system, records the situation of surrounding roads, and serves for purposes such as road guidance and creation of guidance maps.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A first visual field (9) is realized by placing an all-around fisheye lens with an angle of view of 185 degrees or more at the first principal point (1), and the first moving image pickup device (3) and the first storage device (5) are commercially available. This is realized with a digital video camera for general consumers, and a second visual field (10) is realized by arranging an all-around fisheye lens with an angle of view of 185 degrees or more at the second principal point (2), and taking a second moving image. A system in which the device (4) and the second storage device (6) are realized by a commercially available digital video camera for general consumers. As a result, a circle centered on the center point (11) of the system and having a radius (8) between the principal points and a distance (7) determined by the angle of view of the fisheye lens, that is, the point (11) is centered. As a result, it becomes possible to record all visible light coming from outside the circle passing through the point (12) or the point (13).
