Basically such a camera is characterized by rotating linear sensors capturing one image column at a time. Extremely high numbers of pixels per line allow capturing of super-high resolution panoramic images. These can be used for stereo visualisation and stereo reconstruction, as will be discussed in this paper.Copyright CITR, The University of Auckland.
