Abstract
An imaging system and method for enabling the capture and rendering of an image without the latency and bandwidth requirements of the prior art is presented. Embodiments of the present invention employ a plurality of imagers that provide image data to a plurality of capture and hosting servers to which they are connected via a first communications bus. One or more rendering systems are interconnected to the plurality of servers via a second communications bus. The servers perform parallel processing of only raw image data necessary to satisfy individual rendering requests from the rendering systems. Since image processing is performed only on the image data required to render the particular view of interest, an entire high-resolution image is not formed to satisfy the rendering request and the desired image can be rendered with less latency and requires less bandwidth for transmission to the rendering system.
