The Panoscan is a high resolution digital panoramic rotating line camera, manufactured by Panoscan Inc. The first Panoscan camera, called MK-1, were manufactured in 1999, with MK-2 and MK-3 models, with higher resolution and speed, followed.
The Panoscan camera uses a tri-linear CCD array and assembles an image by capturing a single line of pixels at a time while rotating through a 400 degree arc. The camera produces digital images of 9,000 by 65,000 pixels that can be printed at 30 feet (10 metres) in length. The camera incorporates a pan mechanism and does not require an external unit. [1]
The MK-3 Panoscan camera accepts medium format lenses from 22.5 mm up to 300 mm focal lengths. Panoscan cameras can be used with a special 22.5 mm fisheye lens to capture completely spherical images for use in computer-based virtual reality players such as QuickTime VR. The images can be used for measurement purposes such as Photogrammetry. A photogrammetry application for measuring the panoramic images, called PanoMetric, is available.
