Systems And Methods For Generating A Panoramic Image

摘要

Systems and methods for generating a panoramic image include capturing image data from a plurality of cameras and storing the image data within a memory buffer of the respective camera; transmitting image data from an upstream camera to a downstream camera; and combining, within the downstream camera, the image data from the upstream camera with the image data of the downstream camera as combined image data. Each of the plurality of cameras may include an imaging array for capturing image data of a scene; a receiver for receiving image data from an upstream camera of the plurality of cameras; a memory buffer for: combining the image data received from the upstream camera with image data captured by the imaging array to form combined image data, and storing the combined image data; and a transmitter for transmitting the stored combined image data to a downstream camera of the plurality of camera.

1. A method for generating a panoramic image, the method comprising:
capturing image data from a plurality of cameras and storing the image data within a memory buffer of the respective camera; transmitting image data from an immediate upstream camera of the plurality of cameras to a downstream camera of the plurality of cameras; and combining, within the downstream camera, the image data from the immediate upstream camera with the image data of the downstream camera as combined image data.
