Imaging system and method of imaging control

An imaging system comprising:

• an imaging body including
• a first optical element capable of imaging a range containing a hemisphere that is centered at an optical axis and oriented in a first direction of the optical axis, and
• a second optical element capable of imaging a range containing a hemisphere that is centered at the optical axis and oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
• a moving part that moves the imaging body on a straight line;
• and
• an imaging control unit configured to cause the imaging body to perform imaging, and acquire a taken image.

A method of imaging control in an imaging system, the method comprising:

• causing a plurality of imaging bodies to perform imaging in synchronization with each other;
• and
• acquiring a taken image from each of the imaging bodies,
• each of the imaging bodies including
• a first optical element that images a range containing a hemisphere that is centered at an optical axis and oriented in a first direction of the optical axis, and
• a second optical element that images a range containing a hemisphere that is centered at the optical axis and oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction,
• the imaging bodies being arranged in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis and mounted on a moving part that moves on a straight line.
