More Information
Summary:An imaging device is provided, comprising a multidirectional imaging unit defining a plurality of fields of view (FOVs), a sensor unit, and guiding optics. The multidirectional imaging unit is configured for collecting a plurality of electromagnetic (EM) radiation portions from a plurality of scenes, each scene being imaged with a respective FOV. The sensor is configured for receiving EM radiation and generating image data indicative thereof. The guiding optics is configured for receiving at least a part of the collected EM radiation portions and directing them onto the sensor unit.
