Definitions

  • each cabling set traverses distances to each of these multiple camera units corresponding to a vision direction (and if externally housed cabling, becomes vulnerable, even housed inside a pole is not totally safe although safest currently).
  • CCTV systems that do provide a single unit covering multiple vision directions eg. 4 compass directions of N, S, E and W have minimum or no zoom to present a small simple unit and cannot present the long range and telescopic zoom and the quality image for military vision purposes and advanced military machine control purposes that will also require fine camera/eye movements.
  • this new All Seeing Eyes Housing System is a single compact All Seeing Eyes unit that does provide multiple vision directions consisting of multiple eye tubes in a single unit where each eye tube can be likened to be like a human eyeball or eye, but the difference is that this eye tube or eyeball in a single compact unit, can also additionally contain multiple types of vision systems such as powerful and clearer day optics with powerful telescopic zoom due to the eye tube length and size providing better quality optics, and even incorporate other systems such as thermal optics or infra-red (IR) optics (military type IR or economical civilian type IR) and even other types of systems such as laser (ranging or target guidance) and even directional audio (so that during quiet intel gathering operations, the eye can see but even listen), all such various systems can be chosen into a single eye tube with national security safe control (later); thus it is possible to incorporate even 4 systems into a single eye tube, depending on any size limitations eg.
  • IR infra-red
  • the design of the All Seeing Eyes Housing System not just provides multiple eye directions and military quality optics and other systems into each eye of a single compact unit but also provides fine camera/eye movements of all eyes using only a single panning motor and individual rear eye tube tilt motors (individual eye panning motor option will be mentioned later but this panning will be restricted to maintain the compactness of a single All Seeing Eyes unit and such panning will also increase the size unfavorably including the smooth compactness of the unit and its toughness), additionally the design also allows the use of a single cabling set that is part of a single All Seeing Eyes unit and its computer control system instead of multiple cameras and multiple cabling sets with both cameras and cabling taking up bulkhead space in the vehicle or for a site, cabling running everywhere which you would certainly not be doing for a temporary outpost site where this might occur later in corridors but the All Seeing Eyes unit would instead be a large space or overall site monitor ing/scanni ng unit with the computer programmed to
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit provides multiple directions, military quality or very good quality vision in each eye due to the eye tube length and size and far excels with the possibility of other systems inside each eye or eye tube, perform eye movements to enable the quality
  • a single All Seeing Eyes unit and its computer control system can provide functions of not just civilian CCTV quality, but military level so that it is military CCTV for sites and outposts where it can also function as a weapons controller when parried with a weapon system and it can be used to function as machine control of land, sea, air or space vehicles and can also be parried with the vehicle’s weapon systems, while CCTV recording would just be another one of its functions; later paragraph description will show its use with a 360 degree threat monitor over the ground plane identifying all approaching threats humans/objects and selecting the threat on the 360 degree all round monitor would show a picture of the human/ object and its range and perform continual updates on these threats (a ground threat radar could also be superimposed onto this screen
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit also comes in a mini version as a temporary backup of a main unit damaged at a site/vehicle or as a remote portable covert surveillance unit to be stored in a case for intelligence operations.
  • An All Seeing Eyes unit, Model Quad-ocular, with its essential basic schematic design, outward feature elements in 3D view and not to scale is presented in Figure 1 , plan view in Figure 2 with some internal elements in Figure 3 side view namely where each rear eye tube motor (item 3) would be located and its pivoting side lugs for each eye tube;
  • Model Octa-ocular basic schematic design is presented in Figure 10 with 4 eyes moving to tilt up to sky scan, while Figure 11 shows an ‘equal’ distribution of space within each eye tube to fit different systems incorporated into a single eye tube (‘unequal’ space distribution for various systems of different sizes incorporated into a single eye tube).
  • each eye is an eye tube of variable length (at manufacturing depending on the space required to fit the optics and other systems), this length allows better optical systems to be incorporated into each eye tube or eyeball, thus giving much better control of image quality including telescopic zoom abilities and other abilities depending on the systems chosen, and thus these various systems are then combined into a single eye tube or eyeball that is just a single one of the eyes of the entire All Seeing Eyes unit, at the same time providing single to multiple directional coverage from all the number of eye tube directions in each compact All Seeing Eyes unit (note that each eye of a single All Seeing Eyes unit may have different systems incorporated different to the systems in the other eyes due to the flexibility of design, but this was not the intention, in general all eyes should have similar systems in each eye for equal security in each eye direction, but is client dependent eg.
  • High powered telescopic zoom will require the single panning motor and tilt motors at the rear of each eye tube to be installed into the All Seeing Eyes unit to assist with zoom even though the motors are optional depending on military/civilian purpose, while tire mini-All Seeing Eyes units for portable intel surveillance or for backing up a main All Seeing Eyes unit damaged or up for repair, might not have room for motors in these mini version units.
  • Each vision tube system in a single All Seeing Eyes unit is referred to as an eye tube or eyeball containing the single or multiple -optics and other systems, including room for long range optical systems; the more optical and other systems incorporated, the larger the eye tube or eyeball diameter that needs to be manufactured eg. 4 systems in an eye could increase the eyeball or eye tube size to a diameter of 4 inches and over, so naturally it is desirable to fit advanced high quality small systems into each eye tube with the aim of making the eyeball versatile of many systems rather than just a single large specialized system for only a single dedicated purpose, whereas this system will have various systems all available simultaneously in a single eye best monitored by a computer simultaneously ie.
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system and recorder Today’s infantry soldier already uses thermal systems for night/day vision that are almost 1 inch in diameter (but only has battery power while the All Seeing Eyes unit can use a better thermal system since it is not limited to battery power and has variable internal eye tube space control for the thermal system size and quality) and is simultaneously recording/scanning day/night image with no data loss which could be very important in a combat scenario while a soldier is switching between thermal, IR and day systems and not just losing time but direction monitoring as well and might be fatigue affected, but here all systems and all directions can be monitored simultaneously by the All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system (and recorder) fatigue-proof and performing targeting if it is parried with a weapon system.
  • An eye tube of 4 inches diameter could incorporate a few systems into it, not just optics or thermal systems but other systems such as a telescopic audio system or a police speed radar only in the main direction eye tube of a single All Seeing Eyes unit (and if the police radar is larger the size of the main eye tube direction is manufactured to be bigger than the other eye tube directions thus still providing protection in the other eye directions and providing land vehicle guidance if the All Seeing Eyes unit computer is to guide the police vehicle away if the police vehicle is ‘fly by wire’ thus providing driverless capability; it is preferable to try and avoid an external mount of the radar on top of a single All Seeing Eyes unit but to keep it housed internal or use a tough external case where vandalism can be easily spotted).
  • All Seeing Eyes unit Rough terrain land vehicles or naval vehicles or helicopters will require a gyro stabilizing base beneath the All Seeing Eyes unit to stabilize the image when moving, provided by a gyro manufacturer, compared to static and intel gathering or fixed site protection, All Seeing Eyes units.
  • the manufacturer of the All Seeing Eyes unit would design a computer to monitor all the systems in each eye tube or eyeball simultaneously or only those systems that are active, scanning them or even recording them where necessary, whereas a human would not be able to monitor multiple different eye directions and multiple systems in each eye direction and even process them all ie.
  • An All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system could monitor/scan all eye directions and all systems in each eye direction simultaneously, tilting the eyes, small panning eye movements where necessary and zoom movements based on threat detection or where necessary to zoom investigate, without getting tired or losing concentration, even with a memory of recordings where fitted, thus the entire All Seeing Eyes unit is moving and processing and is capable of being adjusted to deal with threats 360 degrees all round or just front and sides by choosing the numbers of eyes or the model - Models Tri-ocular or Quad-ocular, 3 and 4 eye directions respectively, can be manufactured to monitor front and side directions only; eye directions can be specified for manufacturing.
  • a powerful computer would be required to control a network of multiple All Seeing Eyes units which can be performed by computers today, for now a single computer is dedicated to control a single All Seeing Eyes unit for machine control, or for CCTV and for optional control with a weapon system and controlling its optional panning and tilt motors, controlling and analyzing the output from the various systems in each eye tube and for any auto surveillance scanning and record control or interfacing with a weapon system; this should be the basic system so that an All Seeing Eyes unit with a computer system is the base system that is always ready to deploy in any vehicle, machine or site, military or civilian usage, although this reflects deploy flexibility, an All Seeing Eyes unit on a military land vehicle might be bulkier, tough and heavy compared to a lightweight air vehicle unit for interchangeability, the mini version might be a better interchanging or temporary unit).
  • All Seeing Eyes unit computer should still be designed to handle differences in input from the number of eye directions (variable) and the number of systems to be monitored in each eye direction by auto-detecting available systems in each eye tube, while machine/vehicle control and weapon control are additional features programmed into the computer. All Seeing Eyes unit should be made mountable to any base, however this could change eg.
  • All Seeing Eyes Unit Computer The manufacturer of the All Seeing Eyes unit can design and program a computer to control an All Seeing Eyes unit by controlling its optional single panning motor that rotates the entire unit over a compass bearing plane direction or ground surface coverage (Figure 3 item 5 single panning drive gear and item 6 single panning motor), control its multiple optional eye tilt motors at the rear of each eye tube ( Figure 3 item 3) and control the use of any of the systems in each eye tube or eyeball including any zoom control and system controls that each system might require (Figure 11); all these controls provide image data to control a machine when the unit is used for machine control, or to perform long and short range surveillance and telescopically zoom to a military level due to the eye tube with space and length to incorporate good military optics systems surpassing civilian CCTV systems (as well as catering for multiple directions in one All Seeing Eyes unit where even if those civilian CCTV that do monitor multiple directions as one unit would not have optics to a military level as it has no eye tube space for good optics or for telesco
  • Model Di-ocular only has 2 eyes and might require a considerable amount of panning during scanning and zoom and monitoring only 2 directions of threat).
  • An All Seeing Eyes unit can not just perform area ground object/human threats or perform vehicle control guidance but also last line of defense system sky scan vision protection depending on which model All Seeing Eyes unit is selected ie. the number of eye tubes or eyeballs of that model eg.
  • drone swarm threat identification including unexpected hostile appearance secretly launched possibly close-by
  • hostile drones bypassing the defense perimeter should at least use the model Octa-ocular that has 8 eye tubes with 4 sacrificially used for sky scan protection in a last line of defense (the special 12 eye version All Seeing Eyes unit is the larger base platform Model Octa-ocular with Model Quad-ocular stacked on top of it, is a better model when sky scan is required).
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit monitoring ground and sky can also be used for targeting purposes if parried with a weapon system to destroy eg, cheap drone threats including unexpected ones that have passed other defense systems, that can cause millions of dollars damage to vital assets and personnel including perimeter defense systems such as seen in the Azerbaijan Armenian war recently, using bullets (or other variants), micro wave or laser during this last line of defense against these hostile threats that have passed the main defense perimeter or even use small short range missiles to destroy any type of incoming threat human/object (or can be used as part of the main perimeter defense), hence the importance of installing high quality optics systems night/day, telescopic zoom, thermal and IR into the All Seeing Eyes Housing System unit, eye tubes, when used for military purposes.
  • a weapon system to destroy eg, cheap drone threats including unexpected ones that have passed other defense systems, that can cause millions of dollars damage to vital assets and personnel including perimeter defense systems such as seen in the Azerbaijan Armenian war recently, using bullets (or other variants), micro wave or laser during this last line
  • the All Seeing Eyes Housing System allows any country to install or house systems into each eye tube from their own trusted manufacturers of optics and other systems such as military thermal optics system or infra-red IR optics system (not economic civilian night IR LED cameras) that it approves of for their own national security purposes or one country can manufacture the All Seeing Eyes unit and sell to allied countries, the unit and the systems that it incorporates into each eye tube of the All Seeing Eyes unit that it manufactures and sell the associated All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system the manufacturer designs for its use or additional computing features such as interfacing it with machine control of land, sea, air or space vehicles or it is used for CCTV military or civilian where being a versatile powerful optical unit during military CCTV use, the All Seeing Eyes unit could even be parried with a weapon system.
  • military thermal optics system or infra-red IR optics system not economic civilian night IR LED cameras
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit and computer control system is a next generation CCTV system where a single compact unit can scan multiple directions with eye movements and zoom (optional) and with additional features of advanced military machine/vehicie control because there is room to incorporate advance military systems into each eye tube or eyeball to provide better quality optics and other systems, and each All Seeing Eyes unit can have multiple eye tubes or eyeballs to engage various eye directions of vision, or engage various /multiple targets with high speed computer processing surpassing a single soldier or even a bionic eye in a soldier, both in eye and mind (note that this high speed is slowed when gaining human approval to kill multiple hostiles in multiple eye directions or otherwise use a friend/foe, soldier or air threat, system but unarmed civilian recognition would also have to be programmed in which is complicated by the fact that a seemingly unarmed civilian with hidden explosives is not a civilian at all, thus an audio ‘stop’ warning by the All Seeing Eyes computer to the civilian can also be included into the All Seeing Eyes unit so that an audio system incorporated
  • a single compact All Seeing Eye unit can be used for machine control or for CCTV protective purposes, therefore it can be installed into any land, sea, air or space vehicle, or machine or for CCTV, at different points of a building site or a single unit for a temporary outpost site with either manned human control and scanning or computer control automated scanning for an outpost site (even a telescopic audio system could be incorporated) along with threat warnings to a human controller required to check all audio/visual threats or the All Seeing Eyes unit’s controlling computer optically auto-zooms in on any telescopic audio detected or optical detection and plots an object/human symbol onto a 360 degrees monitor screen showing surrounding objects/humans or even air objects to the human controller.
  • the All Seeing Eyes System is the next generation of CCTV vision systems military and for military machine control of fly-by-wire land, sea, air or space vehicles and with an economical version for civilian CCTV and civilian machine control such as driverless cars where an economical mini All Seeing Eyes unit, Model Octa-ocular, 8 eyes covering the compass directions of N, S, E, W, NE, SE, NW, SW is recommended for a land vehicle’s comers and edges control (the main eye direction of a police All Seeing Eyes unit might have a speed radar gun incorporated into the main eye tube direction and a panning motor would rotate the main eye direction to face a vehicle that needs to have a speed check performed on it, while the other eyes provides security to the police officer monitoring threats and providing feedback to the main police station that could even control the police vehicle remotely using the All Seeing Eyes unit computer control of land vehicles eg.
  • An All Seeing Eyes unit is like a very powerful bionic eye system with abilities surpassing the normal human biological eye covering a single to multiple eye directions simultaneously using only a single tidy unit and which only a computer can scan all eye directions simultaneously as well as monitor all the optionally multiple systems incorporated into each eye tube simultaneously, compared to a human eye which only has a single limited optics system (while the All Seeing Eyes unit could even include an eye with a telescopic audio system so that the eye can listen, and not just incorporate thermal or IR systems), also provide recording or even audio transmission of eg. ‘stop’ warnings if required eg.
  • the eyes in the All Seeing Eyes unit can also move and zoom (optional) so that the entire unit is a moving unit scanning and recording or machine vehicle control or when used in space, guiding a space vehicle in the direction of a visible planet, moon, star, asteroid or investigate any satellite.
  • any All Seeing Eyes unit model should be manufactured by a manufacturer to be able to relay data needed for machine control or CCTV so that any unit can just be picked up and interchangeably used for machine control or for CCTV in any vehicle or CCTV building site usage, so that it has a large range of operations and if there are less systems in each eye tube than expected during this ‘interchangeability’ option, the All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system should be designed by the manufacturer to auto-detect that some systems in the eye tube are not active or are not installed just like any current computer systems used today such as laptop computers that auto-detect connected devices and continue to monitor/scan current operational systems auto-detected in each eye tube, which is also good in the event of a breakdown or damage; a computer warning flag should also be output and addressed and then disabled with authority, including if there is loss of motor control detected by the vision feedback that there was failure to move the eye vision pan, tilt or zoom (if this is fitted), while auto-detect continues to operate only the available functioning systems in each eye tube, and number of available eyes
  • the All Seeing Eyes Housing System unit is designed as a next generation vision system designed with a simple and optionally movable housing system with many eyes that each can be moved by its single rear tilt motor and where each eye can have multiple systems incorporated into the eye (not just vision systems), with a single unit manufactured to provide either machine control or CCTV systems at a civilian/military level where today’s CCTV systems are instead currently designed for civilian usage with a simple recording computer and hard drive, although the military might use civilian CCTV in a civilian manner, they now have the option of using the All Seeing Eyes unit and computer system with recorder which can be manufactured by their trusted manufacturer or assembler which might even be a civilian CCTV manufacturer (but they would not be able to program the All Seeing Eyes computer for machine control, this would require cooperation with the machine/vehicle manufacturer).
  • the optional rotation of the entire All Seeing Eyes unit, base structure platform over a compass plane and compass bearing directions can be handled using a single optional panning motor for a single All Seeing Eye unit rotation situated at the bottom of the unit as shown in Figure 3, panning motor drive gear is numbered 5, the single panning motor is numbered 6, the number 1 are the multiple eye tubes seen also in Figure 1 and 2 of the Model Quad-ocular which in this case is to be manufactured spec set with 90 degrees in between the eye tube directions or bearing 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees of a compass ground plane coverage or North, South, East, West eye directions coverage.
  • a supporting shaft (7) supports the base circular platform and beneath it is the panning motor housing (4) containing the panning motor (6) driving the panning drive gear (5) wrapped around this support shaft to rotate the entire base circular platform; bearings allow the base platform to rotate over the fixed panning motor housing (4) which is then mounted onto a fixed mounting surface of eg. a building, pole or land, sea, air or space vehicle.
  • Each All Seeing Eyes System unit is a compact stand alone unit that can be attached to military or civilian machines for control and to sites if used like a CCTV system for protection but can also be parried with weapons system at the site or for the machine when used for machine control - these are the 3 main functions.
  • Each All Seeing Eyes unit is capable of having multiple direction vision and multiple systems incorporated into each eye tube that points into each vision direction.
  • the number of eye vision directions required will depend on the model chosen with each model going from 1 eye vision direction to 8 eye vision directions in total with a special 12 eye vision direction version where 4 of the eye vision directions are dedicated to scan the sky (or the 8 direction model, Octo-ocular, can still be used with 4 eyes sacrificed to tilt up to scan the sky instead of just looking up and down in its eye compass bearing direction or ground/mounting surface directions), hence both of these 2 units, 8 or 12 eyes, moving into a sky protection mode as well becomes a last line of defense to deal with a drone attack swarm or unexpected drone appearance threat secretly launched by a nearby threat to destroy expensive assets and that has passed or smuggled past defense perimeters and can have the All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system be parried with a weapon system of bullets (single or rapid fire or propelled charges) to destroy multiple threat units of any type not just drone threats, including target guidance for the use of laser or microwave weapons which are more for drones, alternately it can be used along the defense perimeter of a military site
  • a guard can scan all the directions corresponding to the patrol using a single camera but just like on an external physical guard patrol, the guard can still miss threat activity after he/she has passed the area or passed the area using camera data footage, however using an All Seeing Eyes unit with multiple vision directions eg. model Tri-ocular, 3 eye vision directions, all these eye directions are checked for threat activity simultaneously without a walk passing the area and then unavoidably forgetting the area passed and any threats, thus simultaneous direction scanning is only possible using the All Seeing Eyes computer autonomously with warning to a human operator or use multiple guards looking at each vision direction simultaneously and without getting tired compared to aacious computer.
  • All Seeing Eyes unit with multiple vision directions eg. model Tri-ocular, 3 eye vision directions
  • Vision data is transmitted from the All Seeing Eyes unit and only one All Seeing Eye unit is required to scan all these eye directions; any motion or telescopic audio could trigger the All Seeing Eyes unit computer to auto-zoom in on the activity and provide an intruder alert to human controllers if necessary, facial recognition or object image stored to be transmitted as an alert or any alert where zoom is triggered and a threat has been ascertained by the computer using personnel facial recognition or other friend/foe system so that a radio comms device might also be installed into the All Seeing Eyes unit tested against hacking and jamming (hence hard wire or optical fibre is preferred), including audio ‘stop’ warning as mentioned in a previous paragraph for military or civilian use, as well as a ‘fail to stop’ alert.
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit and computer can’t be compromised by an enemy or threat as a human can be infiltrated (infiltrating the computer would be harder) and the computer does not get tired needing sleep or lose concentration, therefore it will always be better than a biological human eye or even a human bionic eye because each eye can even have multiple systems incorporated into it and have multiple eye directions monitored and scanned, thus it would surpass even a human bionic eye and mind.
  • Models Each All Seeing Eyes unit has different models that will cover all vision compass bearing directions or eye directions required by a client such as the model Quad- ocular is a 4 eye system (or has 4 eyeballs or eye tubes) usually covering the N, S, E and W or 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees eye directions (although these angles can be changed or set during manufacturing as shown in Figures 4 to 10 of the different All Seeing Eyes models as the angular direction (numbered 10) that is set during manufacturing to client specs, with the number of eyes determining the Model name of the Figures attached, the number 9 indicates the eye forward looking direction, the number 1 is the eye tube).
  • each All Seeing Eyes unit can also be manufactured to have the optional single panning motor and gear, the number 5 and 6 of Figure 3 installed at the base of the unit for compass plane rotations or rotating over the mounting plane surface directions (if in space where there are no compass points) while each eye tube or eyeball has the optional rear tilt motor and tilt gear installed (the number 3 in all attached Figures, inside the unit) when the telescopic abilities are required for short and ultra long range scanning and checks that require zoom inspection of a target (object/human potential threat or of interest) by human or computer, so that tilting and panning movements of the unit is likely to be required to telescopically zoom in. Therefore each model is manufactured to the desired vision directions that the client desires ie.
  • the number of eye directions required which sets the Model type and the angle between eye tubes (number 10 of the attached Figures) is also set during the manufacturing process (it cannot be controlled by any motors to vary, however an eye tube can have individual panning if the angular surface between the eye tubes is narrowed to make room for each eye tube to pan a little).
  • Model Mono-ocular is a 1 eye tube system therefore covering only a single desired direction with panning and tilt motors and computer control recommended because only one eye direction is present and as long as a single direction without a computer control is all that a client requires, and installing only a single economical optics system into the single eye tube such as a traditional CCTV optics system, or the client can specify multiple systems incorporated into this single eye tube if the client requires multiple types of systems incorporated into each eye tube.
  • Models based on the number of eye tubes (or eyeballs), these are Models: Mono-ocular, Di-ocular, Tri-ocular (these 3 models should have ‘portable case’ intel gathering sub-models for remote or automated surveillance control and data transmission with perhaps a self-destruct functionwhen left in enemy territory and can’t be packed up; even other models can have intel gathering portable case sub-models), Quad-ocular, Pent-ocular, Hex-ocular, Hept-ocular and Octa-ocular, as well as the special 12 eye system mentioned in previous paragraph with a Quad-ocular stacked onto a larger base platform Octa-ocular.
  • An All Seeing Eyes unit can be manufactured to fit any number of eyes as long as there is room or it has to be made larger to accommodate any extras. Therefore a single compact All Seeing Eyes unit is designed to install multiple eye tubes but does have a limit as to the number of eye tubes that can be manufactured into a single unit given that each eye tube can also increase in circular diameter size depending on the number of systems required to be fitted into the segregated mounting inner sections inside each eye tube (Figure 11) where the space inside the eye tube that is segregated can be equal or varied depending on the size of the equipment to be fitted inside the eye tube, but increasing the eye tube size leads to less space for the number of eye tubes.
  • a circular type surface is recommended for the eye tube to assist with stealth, hence a round eye tube (unless the manufacturer wants to change the circular tube profile a little) while the rest of the unit is built or filled along an angular surface profile in between eye tubes to provide military toughness if necessary and this angled surface extends upwards towards the center of the unit to make room to fit in rear tilt motors (optional) for each eye tube (or eyeball) and other components.
  • the military toughness of an All Seeing Eyes unit depends on eg. the US military survival rating 1-3 given to the manufacturer and those specs compared to a civilian All Seeing Eyes unit.
  • the base of the unit or the circular platform supporting all the eye tube systems can be optionally controlled to pan or rotate by a single panning motor and shaft gear (Figure 3 number 6 and 5, respectively, contained in its motor and gear housing number 4) where the panning drive gear wraps around the central shaft (Figure 3 number 7) that supports this base circular platform that can optionally rotate over the compass bearing plane directions when the single panning motor is fitted.
  • the control and data communications cable ( Figure 3 number 8) is a high speed cable perhaps even fiber rather than CAT cable (to be determined by the manufacturer of the All Seeing Eyes unit and its computer system) and the power supply cable enter the unit through this central shaft (but this cable location can vary if a gyro-stabilizing unit is also used beneath this base platform where required eg.
  • the cable might run into the panning motor housing ( Figure 3 number 4) and then run through the gyro- stabilizing unit housing beneath it; it depends on where the central shaft will go eg. it might be high on a pole with the cable running down the pole secured inside the shaft and the pole.
  • a single cable feeding each All Seeing Eyes unit might be used to minimize cables and then all the cables from the eye tube systems and motor control go to a data processor stored in the center of the All Seeing Eyes which then transmits the data to the All Seeing Eyes computer system through this single cable feeding the All Seeing Eyes unit.
  • Air vehicles might require 2 units (of a particular All Seeing Eye model, Quad- ocular or Octa-ocular is recommended), one above and one below the air vehicle to provide vision during evasive manoeuvers which only a computer has a better chance to scan all vision directions simultaneously compared to a human pilot sustaining high g and orientation difficulties so that a computer activated at this evasive moment parried with the All Seeing Eyes System(s) provides enhanced survivability instead of human pilot evasive guesswork and provides relief to the pilot in any high g manoeuver and orientation lapse, in this escape or evasive mode with the option of the computer taking over if the pilot’s evasive manoeuver is going to fail thus losing a $100 million or more asset (the severity of the evasive manoeuver, the human pilot tolerance and airframe structural tolerance will depend on the manufacturer).
  • the All Seeing Eye unit is a compact standalone unit that can be fitted to any aircraft and be manufactured in many ways to provide some aerodynamic profile much like a fuel pod carried by an air vehicle, except that it can have a very important last line of evasive defense survival factor or can be used for large drone highly maneuverable combat aircraft with the All Seeing Eye unit providing all round vision combat view decision making and evasive manoeuvers ie.
  • the evasion subroutine will be linked to the vehicle orientation and navigation subroutines in the computer software of the air vehicle.
  • a large drone aircraft could duck and weave in the midst of thick combat, release flares, drop munitions and release missiles almost simultaneously as the computer processes its image data from all of the systems that are active in each eye assessing threats, where a human would not be able to do so in the thick of battle action and being active and oriented to survive or evade with a human’s biological limitations and simultaneous skills; it is also recommended that such a computer that is not part of this design patent enables a human controller to approve the threats prior and has friend/foe systems in it, as this design patent is naturally not liable for the computing systems and weapons systems parried with it or the humans or countries controlling them.
  • Each eye or eye tube or eyeball
  • can have multiple systems incorporated into the system mounting internal sections of each eye tube Figure 11: day optics with high telescopic zoom (hence a longer tube for the eye), day optics with standard or low zoom (shorter eye tube), IR or infra-red military optical system (alternately the current night CCTV IR LEDs can be used with the previously mentioned day optics for an economical CCTV day/night civilian type system), thermal optical system, laser system (ranging, lock-on), telescopic audio system or a police unit can have a speed radar inside (or outside the main direction eye tube to make inner eye tube room space if space is essential or small eye tube size is important).
  • Each of the systems inside an eye tube can be processed simultaneously by a computer much like a human eye but with extended abilities due to the different systems incorporated into each eye and multiple vision directions that can also be simultaneously monitored, or for recording or to be parried with a weapon system as mentioned above, all of which this simultaneous abilities and systems is beyond human function, especially given that the eye can also listen better than the human ear if an audio system is also inside an eye tube. Therefore a good high speed computer processor is essential and good programming design for the processing of images from the various systems in each eye and if the image is parried with a weapon system, the manufacturer should ensure that there is human approval of any weapons discharge that the threat is indeed a valid hostile threat.
  • Mini Version All Seeing Eyes Unit The All Seeing Eye System unit that can be attached to any type of land, sea, air or space vehicle or building site or outpost, can have a ‘mini’ backup version of itself with reduced systems in each eye tube so that if the main unit is destroyed/damaged, this backup mini All Seeing Eye unit can still be used while the computer recognizes the loss of systems available per eye.
  • the mini version may or may not have panning control (manual or panning motor) but should still have the cable to plug back into the computer processor.
  • the mini All Seeing Eye can also be deployed as a portable ‘spy’ surveillance system with optional pan and multiple tilt motors perhaps removed to make it a simple mini version without motors, but sacrificing size to miniaturization and no motors will affect its ability to perform high quality optical zoom during intel gathering.
  • the All Seeing Eye System can be used with an additional proprietary sub-targeting system not seen before, only possible with current technology, and is a separate design patent from this patent, for a classified usage of weapons control separate to the mentioned weapons above that can be parried with an All Seeing Eyes unit.
  • This is a classified specific military usage designed by the All Seeing Eyes housing system designer, it is not for civilian usage and would be illegal ie. strictly military combat use only.
  • All Seeing Eyes unit Interchangeability Technically an All Seeing Eyes unit with sufficient systems in each eye tube could be so versatile or flexible as to be interchanged from a building site usage such as CCTV or parried with weapons control and then attached onto machine control of a land, sea, air or space vehicle feeding image data for vehicle control, as long as there is accessible transmission communications protocol and image data and eye control data interchange with the vehicle computing system to commence operation of the vehicle and interface it with other military targeting systems in the vehicle - this flexibility is a desirable aim for a manufacturer of the All Seeing Eyes Housing system and its control, whether it be attached to computer processing control for military or civilian machines (land, sea, air or space) or to CCTV recording and control.
  • All Seeing Eyes units should be stored properly even if designed as tough military units and be ready for use where required just as the use of a basic camera of any CCTV system that is used only to record or a soldier picking up a rifle, whereas a single All Seeing Eyes unit with a number of eyes compared to a single CCTV camera, can do a lot more especially when there are various powerful systems in each eye and the pan and tilt motors are available providing better vision control of machine edges of the machine that it provides control for, combat vehicle maneuverability control in the thick of battle eg.
  • a manufacturer might choose to have standard off the shelf units available rather than the custom versions - note that it is unlikely that military systems will be available to civilians to be incorporated into each eye and will be subject to the country and the manufacturer’s approval or a ‘tone down’ system only is available to civilians to choose the systems desired into each eye tube.
  • Rotatable Base Platform Support Structure and Enlargement The variable number of eye tubes or eyeballs and the systems in each eye tube of a single All Seeing Eye unit mount onto a tough optionally rotatable base platform, rotating over the compass plane directions, for panning motion of all the eyes, using just a single panning motor rotating the entire base platform.
  • the maximum number of eyes is generally 8 although this can still increase, with a special 12 eye version where 4 eyes is used for sky scanning or the Quad-ocular 8 eye unit is used with 4 eyes tilting into sky scanning to provide more assistance to a drone swarm threat that has passed the usual defense perimeters and minimize the loss of expensive assets used in perimeter defense and human lives, and where these eyes are parried with a weapon system.
  • the large 12 eye model is achieved by increasing the optionally rotatable circular base platform to put 8 eyes further outwards from the center of a single All Seeing Eye unit and then stack a Quad-ocular model onto the top of the 8 eyes; it depends if 8 eyes are still required to provide vision over the ground and tilt up/down while 4 eyes are dedicated to sky scan, otherwise the model Quad-ocular is used.
  • Computer scanning and control and high quality images and zoom from the systems in each eye tube being simultaneously computer monitored, will be required to deal with many threats incoming while human lives are desired to be protected from these threats, and in conjunction with other perimeter defenses, thus the All Seeing Eye units will also become an enemy target by eg. drones or missiles or RPGs.
  • the portable intel gathering models or Mono-ocular, Bi-ocular, Tri-ocular or more eyes units might require the use of a rotatable panning base platform as well under remote human control or computer control to pan and zoom in on a target where necessary to gather intel, and if the zoom is telescopic, both the single pan on the base platform and rear tilt motors of each eye will be required to perform the small zoom movements, and each eye in this usage can still have more than one system incorporated into each eye tube.
  • Model Tri-ocular can be installed at a building comer covering the video security footage coming from the 2 lengthwise directions of the building comer while the 3 rd eye can be tilted down to record footage beneath the Tri-ocular unit mounted high at the comer, in case of threats to the unit or to gather security footage.
  • This is a standard CCTV security usage function and instead of a tilt motor at the rear of each eye tube, manual adjust screws for each eye can be used to adjust the tilt of each eye and lock the adjusting screw in place, and then the lockable cover is put back onto the top of the All Seeing Eyes unit.
  • Tri-ocular model with 3 eyes having a 45 degree angular separation where the outermost eyes monitor the comer lengths while the eye in between points down yet it could just as easily be mounted on the vehicle thus covering front and 2 angled sides also facing front but angled 45 degrees to the left and right.
  • the model Quad-ocular (4 eyes) in a similar CCTV usage can be mounted in the center of a large room or warehouse ceiling and may or may not rotate optionally or at a street intersection covering 4 street directions simultaneously (likely fixed instead of rotatable) instead of multiple single direction cameras each with their own cable feed to these multiple camera locations; the Quad-ocular could even be armed with an extra eye becoming a Pent-ocular model where this extra eye may or may not be covert so if covert it might not be an immediately visible eye to the public, and where covert usage is required.
  • each All Seeing Eyes Housing System unit is such that multiple systems can be incorporated into each eye tube or eyeball, usually around 4 systems to prevent the eye tube diameter from becoming too large.
  • the system choice flexibility in each eye tube and choosing an approved system manufacturer allows a country or client to install their own systems into each eye tube from their trusted supplier without fear of a foreign country compromising their military or civilian, machine control function or CCTV function usage, eg. in government sites or military operations, to minimize the risk of security or foreign powers intrusion sabotage, by control the computer and the unit or footage tampering or power-off during either CCTV usage or machine control usage.
  • All recording, surveillance, optional panning and tilt motors control, data transmission, power and targeting if used with a weapon system all become the liability of that sole country/client and its manufacturer and its installer, installing the All Seeing Eye model type unit that it desires.
  • Each eye tube are tough mounted onto the optionally rotatable main base structure platform via the tough side shafts near the center sides of each eye tube that allow each eye tube to swivel over these pair of side shafts on either side of the eye tube.
  • Both of these side shafts on either side of each eye tube are made heavy duty for harsh military conditions and the swivel tilt of each eye tube is adjusted by rear manual screw or by an optional rear tilt motor and gear eg. a screw actuator gear can be quite tough and still provide fine tilt control but depends on the manufacturer.
  • the materials used can also be lightweight metals or radar absorbent such as light carbon fiber for air or space vehicle usage.
  • the eye tubes are interconnected between eye tubes by the angled surface that slopes upwards towards the center of the All Seeing Eye unit to provide interconnecting strength and to house the internal optional motors and any other necessary components.
  • the systems incorporated into each eye should also be compact from the system manufacturers and quick/easy to install during a single All Seeing Eyes unit manufacturing and build.
  • the communications and power cables exit a single All Seeing Eyes unit from under the base platform through the supporting base platform shaft for protection unless it has to be relocated for the naval All Seeing Eye unit where a gyro- stabilizing device will be beneath this platform.
  • this base structural platform will be a housing area to house the optional panning motor to rotate this base by rotating a gear wrapped around the supporting shaft or the gear can be located underneath the base platform in a circular ring which is stronger with much better gear meshing as the weight of the platform is on it to aid meshing and rugged land movements with impacts (the manufacturer will design which optional panning drive gear configuration should be used dependent on the weight of the All Seeing Unit and the wear and tear and whether it is used for rough land terrain and the level of toughness).
  • the eye tubes can be shortened or lengthened to suit the types of optical devices and other systems incorporated into each eye tube eg.
  • the model Octa-ocular be used for driverless cars as this model covers not just the N, S, E and W directions of the model Quad-ocular but also the NE, SE, NW and SW directions which can be used as comer and edge control to prevent vehicle collision as well as strategic movements in any military, civilian or policing environment and in a thick of combat situation that could be encountered eg in a large drone aircraft or land vehicle in the thick of combat and the evasive manoeuvers that they might need to perform strategically as well as collision avoidance or tighter urban areas, while providing good quality image data for the computer to process vehicle control or even for a weapon system to use the All Seeing Eyes unit’s data.
  • a drone with good power supply (small drone) or generated power supply (large drone) could use the model Quad-ocular to scan more ground data with the additional eyes and to reduce the drone’s detection time to others on a quick scan mapping mission is also best to use a stealth drone for survival and data collection and provides better data than single cam on drone (quad data accumulates more data scans of an area and might complete its mission with extra information) however might possibly require high energy microwave pulse protection of the drone (the All Seeing Eyes unit performs data storage only in a stealth mission and not necessarily transmitting).
  • the angled surfaces in between eye tubes is for structural strength in combination with the strong base platform that supports the eye tube pivots by 2 lugs on either side of each eye tube.
  • the angled surface also slopes upwards towards the inner center to make room to house internal devices, motors, components, cable, etc, and as an angled surface to blend in and be a part of the external surface stealthier features blending in with the curves of the round eye tubes; the angled surfaces, eye tubes and base platform might use stealth materials where radar reflection is important and a single All Seeing Eyes unit is large.
  • a square eye tube will give more internal space for the different internal systems that can be incorporated into the eye tube which each system might also have different sizes or spatial room demands - a square eye tube will require the angled surface in between the eye tubes to be shaped to blend in with the square eye tubes and the angled surface might even have to extend outwards radially with the base platform ie. a larger diameter base platform, so that the square eye tubes will now be set back or recessed from the base platform and angled surface edge if stealth and radar reflection is important.
  • a circular eye tube provides better stealth features than a square eye tube for the angled surface to be made to blend in with a circular surface, but a circular eye tube loses a little internal space for the incorporation of possibly more than one internal optical and other systems inside the eye tube compared to a square eye tube, thus forcing a circular eye tube to be made larger in diameter to house more internal systems.
  • Each All Seeing Eyes Housing System unit should be designed to require a Computer System as a Controller: To control its optional single panning motor and rear tilt motors for each eye tube or eyeball, To control simultaneous scanning of any number of the optical and other types of systems that can be incorporated into each eye tube ie. those systems that are active or switched on, To control CCTV recording and video/audio alarm system and if military CCTV might even be parried with a weapon targeting system, or To control interfacing the eye tube data to a land, sea, air or space vehicle computer system for vehicle guidance or for the vehicle’s targeting system if the vehicle is military.
  • this computer control system of the All Seeing Eyes unit might itself even control any suitable ‘fly-by- wire’ vehicle where required by inputting the profile of the vehicle it is to control and the vehicle’s basic control parameters - this is not ideal as certain vehicle types, the vehicle’s computer control system can become complex if for example it is an unstable aircraft with stability control required as well especially given the tail-less stealth aircraft vehicles that can be encountered as opposed to a simple fly-by-wire land vehicle. Therefore initially the All Seeing Eyes unit computer system can only be used as a rough or basic control of a vehicle using its optical systems data to provide guidance and collision avoidance eg.
  • a fly-by-wire land vehicle basic control parameters for the computer system would be steering, throttle and brakes and if military could also control a weapon targeting system as well as a compass or GPS input and map data, and if it is to control a naval vehicle the basic control parameters would be the same without the brakes wire input instead sea motion affects would also have to be considered, and any other necessary basic control parameters such as side thrusting propellers where fitted.
  • the basic control parameters can be obtained from a vehicle by just wire tapping the various vehicle control points instead of going through the vehicle manufacturer’s computer system or work with the manufacturer to control the vehicle; more advance vehicle control parameters can be added in later but a minor third component will be required if the All Seeing Eyes unit and its computer is to perform vehicle control, so at least 3 central components: the All Seeing Eyes unit, its computer and this third minor component.
  • An All Seeing Eye unit used in a naval vehicle submarine might be used beneath the submarine or wherever required to obtain vision parried with a gyro-stabilizing platform perhaps, generally in clear water, very slow speeds or stationary, with or without lights depending on covertness and may or may not be used for mini or larger size submarine control since at higher speeds steering by sonar would be essential.
  • the control surfaces wire input will be required for roll, yaw and pitch, a throttle input and landing gear, and the compass or GPS and maps input as at least the basic control parameters and other control parameter where required (the model Octa-ocular is recommended one on top of the aircraft and one at the bottom for expendable drone high maneuvering jet fighters deliberately sent into the thick of combat with no human lives lost where the computer might be using all eyes to perform evasion or to look at the ground or do both simulataneously); a small drone with low power/battery supply would likely only use the mini version of the All Seeing Eyes unit reduced to perhaps the Mono-ocular model at the front of the small drone or stretching it to the Quad-ocular model or use a larger sized Mono-ocular model with some different systems incorporated into the eye tube such as optics, IR optics and thermal optics system (this depends on weight requirements and drone size and being a single eye puts it in competition with current systems other than the
  • a single Ail Seeing Eyes unit best controls a vehicle using the multiple eyes units or eye directions which is the main feature of a single compact All Seeing Eyes unit design especially the model Octa-ocular and its computer system for vehicle control or can also use the other models for building site protection such as military site or outpost (CCTV with optional weapon system) and many autonomous All Seeing Eyes units with powerful scan systems in each eye tube can be used at the perimeter defense parried with an optional weapon system or for general civilian (CCTV).
  • CCTV military site or outpost
  • All Seeing Eyes Unit Machine/Building Site Attachment and Computer System The computer system for a single All Seeing Eyes unit can be designed to provide basic guidance control of any fly-by- wire vehicle by loading the vehicle type into the computer for control and the method of the control system and the parameters required as mentioned in previous paragraph [0016] for the vehicle type, parried with vision data from the computer’s own All Seeing Eyes unit to guide the vehicle; the All Seeing Eyes unit would be a removable or atachable unit with no vision holes and cameras required drilled into various places around the vehicle for vision or guidance or interfere internally with the vehicle’s main layout, and attachable to any fly-by-wire vehicle along with the All Seeing Eyes unit’s computer system.
  • the land, sea, air or space vehicle’s guidance computer controls the All Seeing Eyes unit by interfacing with the All Seeing Eyes unit computer system and uses the entire system for vision, vehicle guidance, combat evasion or civilian vehicle collision avoidance and for military targeting purposes (otherwise it is also possible to program the vehicle’s computer system with the All Seeing Eyes unit computer control system software to control the All Seeing Eyes unit, similarly a main computer at a building site could also be programmed to control the All Seeing Eyes unit used at civilian or military sites with this software and if it is a military site it might even be parried with a weapon system).
  • Eye Movement Motors Usage and Autonomous Vehicles For advanced vehicle guidance control such as computer controlled evasive manoeuvers in land, sea, air or space vehicles, intel gathering with telescopic zoom surveillance and for targeting with a weapon system, an All Seeing Eyes unit should be fitted with the rear tilt motor for each eye so that the eyes are movable up/down along with the single panning motor (side to side) with the panning motor required if there is insufficient number of eyes and for zoom close-ups. As mentioned in paragraph [0014] it is better to use the model Octa-ocular to control a vehicle rather than lesser eyes because all the main compass directions are covered by each of the eyes ie.
  • N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW (8 directions or 8 eyes) providing all vehicle comer and edge control and lesser eyes might require the panning motor and cause additional computer programming which is less desirable, it is better that during vehicle guidance the panning motor is off but it can be switched on for any telescopic surveillance or targeting purposes.
  • All Seeing Eyes System Optional Object/Target Acquisition - Covert/Non-covert Ranging Requires the incorporation of 2 systems into each eye tube of interest but in general it should be incorporated into all eyes in the unit or housed in each of its present eye tubes for 360 degrees all round coverage unless ⁇ 360 degrees is deemed the specification then there will be less eyes in the All Seeing Eyes unit; the 2 systems that are required for this, in an eye tube, are laser range and lock-on system (non-covert) and telescopic zoom/non-zoom first focal plane (FFP) reticule, milli-radians reticule will be shown in the attached Figure 12 but a manufacturer may choose to use minute of angle (MOA) for ranging; either way the final range data output result (for military use mainly) will still be the same ie.
  • MFP minute of angle
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit that knows all approaching objects/humans 360 degrees around the ground plane and storing them all in its database and providing incoming update movement alerts on these multiple objects/humans being tracked optically.
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit might also have a sky monitoring mode activated ie. some eyes are monitoring for sky threats that have passed defense perimeters due to eg. an overwhelming drone swarm from all directions at high speeds or other hostile sky objects or were launched in secret close-by and were missed.
  • the laser system in an eye tube supplied by a laser manufacturer will just output the range to an object immediately through laser reflection timing, the speed of light and then providing the range value of the object of interest, then this laser range data, is then fed to the All Seeing Eyes computer system and output to the human operator(s) along with the threat/non-threat image digitized (ranging is for military use and might be parried with a weapon targeting system) or is assessed by the computer autonomously without a human operator as to whether the object or human is armed or not (note that non-human operation is a sensitive issue and is determined by the country manufacturing the All Seeing Eyes housing system, its computer and its computer programming assessments and whether the computer should give an audio verbal warning to the threat to ‘stop’ but in some cases a threat at a non-audio verbal warning distance would not hear or is a machine that doesn’t hear which then could also be too late and the threat is allowed to execute a hostile move that could be disastrous to assets and personnel).
  • the All Seeing Eyes unit performs its job and is able to scan all round and zoom at object/humans of interest and record store and continue to monitor and update object/humans of interest all round 360 degrees night/day simultaneously (even the sky scan) compared to a single biological human who can’t see everywhere, can’t zoom and miss or lapses concentration or is tired or compromised, and can also be parried with an audio warning system or even a weapon system, thus making the unit an extremely powerful ‘all- seeing’ optical and other systems device, with computer control of all eye movement motors, zoom or all systems incorporated into each eye tube, at the same time performing simultaneous processing, calculation and storage of all of these data and for every eye in the unit or every direction, which would be far too great for a human to handle.
  • the range data output will be an estimate using the high quality optical telescopic zoom/non-zoom system, constantly updating a human/object for range accuracy, instead of the laser system for ranging (optical zoom is recommended to be fitted for the computer to control when it needs to and to provide human operators with close-up data) but the optics must have a reticule (Mils/MOA in FFP) in which this value as well as the object/human is digitized for computational measurement and then calculations and the range data is output to the human operators) functions or the computer autonomous functions.

  • the ranging subroutine should be programmed to use the vertical Mils/MOA value with the vertical object/human dimension (the human vertical dimension might be set at 5 ft 10 in (or meters) for example by the manufacturer, and if it is an object, military objects could be matched with a stored database in the computer of military vehicles vert/horiz dimensions that is used as the dimension or an approximate military vehicle is selected from the database and then that dimension is used, at the same time there are ‘flat object/vehicle’ iterations required (or range updates) as the computer might not be able to acquire an object laid out flat and the object is angled in which case only the vertical dimension can be used in the range computation or if the vertical dimension is partially hidden, then only the object horizontal dimension can be used with the horizontal Mils/MOA value ( Figure 12), and then the covert range analysis using the optical system is calculated by the computer and output and the human operator warned or the computer autonomously continually monitors, records and updates the object range and threat assessment.
  • the covert range analysis using the optical system is calculated by
  • the object/human/target acquisition and ranging routine is military use and might even have a weapon system parried with it and is not generally used for civilian All Seeing Eyes units and computer/CCTV recorder system.
  • a sub-targeting or secondary targeting routine can also be used with the All Seeing Eyes unit in its computer programming and an extra hardware option is required for this, but this is a separate design patent and is for a certain type of military classified use that has not been seen before, as it can only be designed based on current available technology post- Vietnam war and probably even post-Gulf War, this is also mentioned previously in para [0009].
  • This monitor screen may even be superimposed with object/humans of a different color on the screen, one color for the All Seeing Eyes unit’s detection of object/humans and another color for a ground radar unit’s detection (non-optical vision) object/humans detection plotted onto the same screen (ground radar is a separate system from the All Seeing Eyes unit optical system and should have a longer range clarified by the optical and zoom system) - this provides military commanders or advanced parties battlefleld/base situational awareness which can even be transmitted to patrols; an external ground radar operating with a computerized All Seeing Eyes unit are invaluable defensive assets, another vital system would be the All Seeing Eyes unit thermal system which should be the best technology possible again plotted with another color for an object/human detected on the 360 degree object/human plot of the area, if all systems agree about an object/human there will be colors superimposed on top of each other on the screen (objects/humans that were detected and disappeared should be recorded for checking with a digitized image of that location from the All Seeing

Abstract

Système de boîtier d'yeux à champ de vision global étant une unité de direction de vision multiple simultanée qui fournit des données de vision numérisées simultanées à partir de tous ses yeux ou directions de tube d'œil, où le nombre d'yeux dépend des modèles et correspond au nom du modèle : Monoculaire (1 œil), Di-oculaire, Tri-oculaire, Quad-oculaire, Pent-oculaire, Hex-oculaire, Hept-oculaire et Octa-oculaire (8 yeux), c'est-à-dire 1 œil à 8 yeux, respectivement. Les yeux d'une seule unité d'yeux à champ de vision global sont déplacés les uns par rapport aux autres par un angle défini déterminé par la spécification au fabricant et montés sur une plateforme de type circulaire à base solide ; l'angle défini amènera les tubes d'œil montés sur la plateforme de base qui, si la plateforme circulaire devait ressembler à un plan de compas circulaire, les tubes d'œil pointeraient vers divers angles des points de compas.
