Abstract
A camera system for providing a split image field of view. The split image camera system utilizes two planar mirrors which are arranged along mutually intersecting planes so as to transmit images from different locations to the camera. The two mirrors are arranged such that their vertical axes are parallel while their horizontal axes intersect along the optical axis of the camera. By placing the reflective surfaces of the mirrors in a direction facing the camera, the camera is capable of viewing images from different locations and thus provides a split image view.
