Abstract
A mirror camera arrangement attached to a conventional perspective camera is suggested for the purpose of computing depth of spatial points. The arrangement simulates a multi camera set up, where all internal parameters are equal and a common cyclopedian system is well defined. A linear system, from which spatial point coordinates may be determined, is derived. Computational experiments with actual mirror camera data are reported. Average relative error on estimated depth values was 0.6 %.
