Abstract
An imaging system includes: a first camera with a first focal length; a second camera with a second focal length; a first mirror disposed to correspond to both the first camera and the second camera; and a first adjustment unit that adjusts an optical positional relation between the first camera or the second camera and the first mirror, in accordance with which of the first camera and the second camera is used to image a target. According to such an imaging system, it is possible to properly image targets located at differing distances.
Claims10
An imaging system comprising:
- a first camera with a first focal length;
- a second camera with a second focal length;
- a first mirror disposed to correspond to both the first camera and the second camera;
- at least one memory that is configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that is configured to execute the instructions to:
- adjust an optical positional relation between the first camera or the second camera and the first mirror, in accordance with which of the first camera and the second camera is used to image a target,
- wherein the first camera and the second camera perform imaging through a first common viewing angle origin that is common to the first and second cameras, and
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to display an image about an eye around the first common viewing angle origin, wherein the eye displayed in the image is opened when the target is located at the first focal length or the second focal length, and the eye displayed in the image is closed when the target is not located at the first focal length nor the second focal length.
An imaging method that is executed by at least one computer, the imaging method controlling an imaging system including:
- a first camera with a first focal length;
- a second camera with a second focal length;
- and a first mirror disposed to correspond to both the first camera and the second camera, the imaging method comprising:
- adjusting an optical positional relation between the first camera or the second camera and the first mirror, in accordance with which of the first camera and the second camera is used to image a target,
- wherein the first camera and the second camera perform imaging through a first common viewing angle origin that is common to the first and second cameras, and
- the imaging method further comprises displaying an image about an eye around the first common viewing angle origin, wherein the eye displayed in the image is opened when the target is located at the first focal length or the second focal length, and the eye displayed in the image is closed when the target is not located at the first focal length nor the second focal length.
A non-transitory recording medium on which a computer program that allows at least one computer to execute an imaging method is recorded, the imaging method controlling an imaging system including:
- a first camera with a first focal length;
- a second camera with a second focal length;
- and a first mirror disposed to correspond to both the first camera and the second camera, the imaging method including:
- adjusting an optical positional relation between the first camera or the second camera and the first mirror, in accordance with which of the first camera and the second camera is used to image a target,
- wherein the first camera and the second camera perform imaging through a first common viewing angle origin that is common to the first and second cameras, and
- the imaging method further comprises displaying an image about an eye around the first common viewing angle origin, wherein the eye displayed in the image is opened when the target is located at the first focal length or the second focal length, and the eye displayed in the image is closed when the target is not located at the first focal length nor the second focal length.
