Abstract
In some embodiments, an imaging system can include a first imaging device and a second imaging device. The first imaging device can be configured to capture a first image from a first image path. The first imaging device can include a first optical element and a first housing. The second imaging device can be configured to capture a second image from a second image path. The second image path can intersect with, and can be non-parallel to, the first image path. The second imaging device can include a second optical element and a second housing. Many additional embodiments are possible.
