Optronic equipment for assisting with piloting an aircraft includes a first set of three cameras arranged on the aircraft to generate a panoramic strip from data transmitted by the three cameras of the first set and a second set of three cameras arranged on the aircraft to generate a panoramic strip from data transmitted by the three cameras of the second set, at least one of the cameras that occupies an extreme position on the aircraft relative to the cameras of the first and second sets being arranged so as to have a field of view that is greater horizontally than vertically.
Optronic equipment for assisting with piloting a vehicle, the equipment including a first set of three cameras arranged on the vehicle to generate a first panoramic strip from data transmitted by the three cameras of the first set and a second set of three cameras arranged on the vehicle to generate a second panoramic strip from data transmitted by the three cameras of the second set, at least one of the cameras that occupies an extreme lateral position on the vehicle relative to the cameras of the first and second sets being arranged so as to have a field of view that is greater horizontally than vertically, the first set and the second set being arranged so that the first strip and second strip overlap at least in part in order to provide stereoscopic vision to the pilot, each set being capable of operating on its own, without the other set, so that in case of the loss of one of the sets, the other set is still capable to restitute a flat image to the pilot, wherein the cameras are stationary relative to the vehicle.
