Abstract
An imaging system may include a plurality of networked imagers arranged in a geometric arrangement with respective fields of view covering part or all of a panoramic geometry, at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) in communication with the networked imagers configured to generate orientation data indicating orientations of the plurality of networked imagers, and at least one processor in communication with the networked imagers and the at least one IMU. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a plurality of images from the plurality of networked imagers and combine the plurality of images into at least one combined image by positioning pixels of each of the plurality of images relative to pixels of the remaining plurality of images, associating the positioned pixels with the orientation data, and merging the oriented pixels of each of the plurality of images into the at least one combined image.
