[0002] An array camera uses multiple small lenses to replace the shooting effect of a large lens. Its principle is similar to that of an array astronomical telescope and the compound eyes of insects. Compared with traditional cameras, array cameras have a wider field of view and take larger photos. At the same time, they are smaller in size. Photo modeling is mainly achieved by taking photos of objects from multiple angles and in all directions, and then the software obtains the model by obtaining the pixels in the photos. When modeling photos, users need to take photos from multiple angles and in all directions. Often, hundreds of photos are taken for an object. If photos are taken manually one by one, it will take too long, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and there may even be problems such as shooting failure. It requires high photography skills of personnel and high photo acquisition costs, so array cameras are needed.

[0003] However, array cameras currently on the market are generally of fixed size, which has great limitations when used in different scenarios. The number of array cameras cannot be adjusted in time in larger or smaller environments, which makes the array camera inconvenient to use. For this reason, we propose an array camera.
