1. A multi-camera system for mitigating field of view (FOV) artifacts in 360-degree imaging, the multi-camera system comprising:
a plurality of cameras, each camera having a rolling shutter for enabling the capture of panoramic image data from a field of view of the camera; a first camera pair comprising a first camera positioned opposite a second camera, the first camera and the second camera oriented to face outwards in substantially opposite directions; a second camera pair comprising a third camera positioned opposite a fourth camera, the third camera and the fourth camera oriented to face outwards in substantially opposite directions, wherein the first camera pair and the second camera pair are oriented to face outwards in substantially perpendicular directions where at least a portion of the field of view of the third camera overlaps a portion of the field of view of the first camera to form an overlap region; a first rolling shutter and a second rolling shutter of the first camera pair configured to roll in substantially opposite directions; and a third rolling shutter and a fourth rolling shutter of the second camera pair configured to roll in substantially opposite directions; wherein the first camera is configured to configure the first camera, the second camera, the third camera, and the fourth camera to capture image data at temporally proximate times, and to configure the rolling directions of the first rolling shutter, the second rolling shutter, the third rolling shutter, and the fourth rolling shutter such that: the rolling direction of the second rolling shutter is substantially opposite the rolling direction of the first rolling shutter, the rolling direction of the third rolling shutter is substantially opposite the rolling direction of the second rolling shutter, and the rolling direction of the fourth rolling shutter is substantially opposite the rolling direction of the third rolling shutter. |
