Abstract
A scanning camera includes a camera assembly associated with curved scan paths. Each camera assembly includes an image sensor and a lens, and has a camera optical axis. Also included are a scanning mirror, and a drive to rotate the scanning mirror about a spin axis, which is tilted relative to the camera optical axis, according to a spin angle. The scanning mirror is tilted relative to the spin axis. For each camera assembly, the scanning mirror is tilted relative to the camera optical axis, and is positioned to reflect an imaging beam into the lens. A viewing angle and a viewing direction of the imaging beam relative to the object plane varies with the spin angle and a pointing direction of the camera optical axis. Each lens focuses the imaging beam onto its respective image sensor, which captures each image along a respective scan path.
