Photographic object recognition correction
First Claim
1. A camera comprised of a container into which light cannot enter except by way of a specific image-forming aperture at its front, an image-forming aperture at the front of said container that admits light, and an image-sensitive surface closer to its rear, the plane of which can be rotated about either a vertical line or a about a horizontal line or about both a vertical and a horizontal line so that the plane of said image-sensitive surface is no longer parallel to the front face of the box.

Abstract
This invention describes a set of simple yet novel methods for capturing photographs of moving objects that are constrained to lie within a relatively flat object region that is not necessarily perpendicular to the axis of the camera lens. Using these methods, one can select a focal plane and an object region that is not that of a normal camera, and, when objects are constrained to move within that object region, one can successfully photograph them no matter where they appear within the field without losing focus.
