A low parallax imaging device includes a plurality of imaging lens elements arranged to capture adjacent fields of view. In some examples, adjacent imaging lens elements may contact at datum features to maintain a desired spacing. The spacing may allow for partial overlapping of low-parallax volumes associated with the respective imaging lens elements.

Mounting systems for multi-camera imagers

A low parallax imaging device includes a dome defining an interior volume in which a plurality of imaging lens elements are disposed. The dome includes a first outer optical element associated with a first of the imaging lens elements and a second outer optical element associated with a second of the imaging lens elements. Facets are provided at seams in the dome between the first outer optical element and the second outer optical element.

Multi-camera panoramic image capture devices with a faceted dome

A frame for a low parallax imaging device includes a plurality of interconnected faces configured to mount cameras. The faces are mounted along peripheral edges using kinematic connections. The frame provides a structure on which the mounted cameras provide a combined field of view of up to about 360-degrees with minimal parallax between adjacent cameras.
