What is scheimpflug camera?

Scheimpflug camera is a specialized type of camera used in photography and optical measurement applications. It is named after the Austrian engineer Theodor Scheimpflug who first proposed the concept in 1904.

This type of camera is designed with an adjustable plane of focus that enables more accurate and precise focus control. This is achieved by tilting the camera's lens and image plane, thus controlling the angle of incidence between the two.

Scheimpflug cameras are primarily used in industrial and scientific applications, such as aerial mapping, metrology, and microscopy. They are also used by professional photographers for capturing landscape and architectural images.

They tend to be more expensive than traditional cameras due to their specialized design and precision engineering. However, they provide more accurate and consistent results, making them an essential tool in fields that require high levels of precision and accuracy.
