Abstract

A wide-angle imaging optical system includes a refractive optical system (3), a reflective optical system, and an image-forming optical system (5). The reflective optical system includes a first reflection surface (1) that directly reflects rays of light from an object, and a second reflection surface (2) that reflects rays of light from the first reflection surface (1). An open portion is provided between the first reflection surface (1) and the second reflection surface (2), and rays of light from the object enter the open portion. A light-transmitting portion (2a) is provided in the second reflection surface (2) and transmits rays of light that have entered the refractive optical system (3). An aperture (1a) is provided in the first reflection surface (1) and allows rays of light from the second reflection surface (2) and the refractive optical system (3) to enter the image-forming optical system (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wide-angle imaging device, which can generate a panoramic image covering an ultra-wide range by using a combination of several reflective surfaces and a combination of several lenses. Background technique [0002] Various researches and developments have been conducted for wide-angle imaging devices to efficiently generate images of objects in a large area. An example is the development of wide-angle cameras with fisheye lenses. [0003] JP 10(1998)-54939 A (reflective viewing angle conversion optical device and optical system using the same) proposes a system for producing a wide-field image by variously changing the shapes of three mirror surfaces disposed opposite to each other. JP 2000-4383 A (Multidirectional Image Pickup Device) proposes an optical system that produces a counter image within a normal image by using the shaft of a panoramic image block as a lens. [0004] JP 2001-94839 A (Wide-field image picku...
