Abstract

A multi-image capture device capturing images by means of circular motion controls the shift movement, along a semi-circular measuring rod, of a moving mechanism by a location control device. Furthermore, a rotary control device is used to control the positioning and image-capturing angle of a second image capture device fixed on the rotary mechanism. Thereby, a first image capture device and the second image capture device are of a co-circle configuration where the optical axis of the first image capture device and the second image capture device overlap to form a center of the co-circle. Such a configuration can broaden the visual range of the image capture device, and allows quick calibration of the image capture device according to positioning of shift movement and image-capturing angles.
