Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system for separating a field of view (FOV) of a scene imaged by a vision system camera assembly, the system being constructed and arranged to search and analyze features of interest in the scene comprising:
a separating mirror assembly constructed and arranged to redirect, without splitting, a first optical path of at least a first optics with respect to at least a first image sensor in the camera assembly;
at least a first reflecting assembly that redirects the first optical path from the separating mirror toward a first FOV, the first optical path being extended free of splitting the image projected from the scene on the first image sensor,
wherein the separating mirror assembly is constructed and arranged to redirect, without splitting, a second optical path of at least a second optics with respect to a second image sensor in the camera assembly; and
at least a second reflecting assembly that redirects the second optical path from the separating mirror toward a second FOV, the second optical path being extended free of splitting the image projected from the scene on the second image sensor,
wherein the first optical path extends in parallel to the second optical path such that the first FOV is adjacent to the second FOV.
