Abstract
An incident optical image is split by a single semi-transparent mirror into first and second optical images and directed onto first and second intersecting planes so that the images are in mirror-image relationship to each other with respect to a line of intersection between the two planes. First and second identical solid-state area imagers are located on the two planes, respectively. A pair of identical solid-state area imagers respectively include image sensors for generating charges corresponding to the optical images incident thereon. A vertically bidirectionally transferrable charge transfer device is coupled to each image sensor and a horizontally bidirectionally transferrable charge transfer device is coupled to the vertical transfer device. The vertical and horizontal charge transfer devices of both imagers are driven so that signals derived therefrom will produce identical electronic images.
