Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of panoramic imaging technology, and in particular relates to a multi-view imaging device in the vertical direction. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of towers such as iron towers and power towers, the workload on these towers is also growing rapidly. To further improve safety measures for tower construction operations, strengthen safety and quality management, and continuously improve the intelligent construction process management of towers, it is necessary to transmit the construction process back to the construction site management platform via cameras. AI algorithm recognition technology should be used for precise control of the construction process, and violation alarms should be reported in real time to reduce safety risks. Existing PTZ or bullet cameras use zoom to view panoramic views and distant details. When viewing details, only a single target or a limited local area can be covered at a time, resulting in the loss of other information within the entire frame. When viewing panoramic views, distant targets are not clear enough due to the small focal length. Existing monocular cameras cannot simultaneously capture both panoramic views and details. Summary of the Invention
