Abstract
An imaging system includes a cylindrical housing defining left and right circular ends and formed with a linear slit extending from left end to right end. A camera is in the housing with a line of sight through the slit. A processor in the housing receives signals from the first camera and controls an actuator in the housing to rotate the cylindrical housing about a central axis defined the cylindrical housing such that the cylindrical housing can roll under influence of the actuator.
