Efficient imaging is achieved under conditions of high relative velocity between the camera and the subject by using the following imaging system; two galvanometer mirrors are placed vertically in front of the camera, one for motion blur compensation and the other for switching the angle of view. The proposed system can overcome the shortcomings of conventional imaging systems with motion blur compensation, such as a small angle of view, and efficiently acquire high-resolution images. If the angle is changed for each capture while the mirrors are stationary for the exposure time, the natural frequency of the mirrors produces noise, leading to a poor resolution. However, this issue can be managed by generating and using an input that does not contain a natural frequency component. A target moving in one dimension can be captured and it is confirmed that the angle of view was extended from the obtained image. It is expected that the camera will be used for inspections under conditions where the relative speed between the camera and target is high, such as in highway tunnel inspections.
