Research abstract
Circle Optics patented 180- and 360-degree cameras are the next generation optics that can provide the Air Force situational awareness from a low-earth satellite through its real-time, ultra-high resolution, wide field-of-view and low distortion capabilities. The revolutionary camera system uses polygonal fields-of-view, eliminating parallax and producing perfect images in real-time.
