Rotating line camera

Rotating line camera

A rotating line camera, is a digital camera which uses a linear CCD array (called "the line") to assemble a digital image during a rotation of the camera, line by line. The CCD array can actually consist of three sensor lines, each for one color channel (Red, Green, and Blue). Advanced rotating line cameras can have multiple (e.g., two or three) such linear CCD arrays on a focal plate, thus capturing multiple panoramic images during their rotation. Examples for such a camera architecture are Panoscan or Eyescan [http://www.kst-dresden.de/produkte/index.php?site=12&lang=eng&katid=3] .
