An optical device (1) for capturing images, covering a 360° field by digital pasting of three images, including three lens groups (2,3,4) with a longitudinal axis for acquisitions of the three images respectively, each lens group including a head lens (21,31,41), followed by several lenses along the same longitudinal axis of the lens group, so as to project the transmitted rays to an image sensor (22,32,42), the three lens groups (2,3,4) being arranged around a dummy rotation axis (5) and in which the lens groups are positioned in a triangular geometric configuration along the direction of the dummy rotation axis, the lens groups (2,3,4) being arranged without overlapping with each other, and the angle of inclination between the longitudinal axis of each lens group (2;3;4) and the plane orthogonal to the dummy rotation axis (5) being greater than or equal to 0° and less than 15°.
Optical device (1) for capturing images, covering a 360° field by digital pasting of three images, comprising three lens groups (2,3,4) with a longitudinal axis (A2,A3,A4) for corresponding acquisitions of said three images, each lens group (2,3,4) comprising a head lens (21,31,41), followed by several lenses to project transmitted rays towards an image sensor (22,32,42) on the same longitudinal axis (A2,A3,A4) of said lens group (2,3,4), said three lens groups (2,3,4) being arranged around a dummy rotation axis (5),
