Method of producing a remote imaging array
First Claim
1. A method of producing a remote imaging array, comprising the steps of:
- providing a camera housing, having a curvilinear array axis;
coupling a first imaging sensor, having a focal axis, to the housing along the curvilinear array axis;
coupling a second imaging sensor, having a focal axis, to the housing along the curvilinear array axis adjacent to the first imaging sensor, such that the focal axes of the first and second imaging sensors intersect one another at an intersection area;
coupling a third imaging sensor, having a focal axis, to the housing along a curvilinear array axis adjacent to the first imaging sensor, opposite the second imaging sensor, such that the focal axes of the first and third imaging sensors intersect one another at the intersection area; and
aligning the second and third imaging sensors'"'"' fields of view with target areas opposite their respective positions in the housing.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method of producing a remote imaging array. A first imaging sensor, having a focal axis, is coupled to a housing, having a curvilinear array axis, along the curvilinear array axis. A second imaging sensor, having a focal axis, is coupled to the housing along the curvilinear array axis adjacent to the first imaging sensor, such that the focal axes of the first and second imaging sensors intersect one another at an intersection area. A third imaging sensor, having a focal axis, is coupled to the housing along a curvilinear array axis adjacent to the first imaging sensor, opposite the second imaging sensor, such that the focal axes of the first and third imaging sensors intersect one another at the intersection area. The second and third imaging sensors'"'"' fields of view are aligned with target areas opposite their respective positions in the housing.
