Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to multi-sensor apparatuses and methods for using the same. In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to an integrated multi-lens video platform with integrated software for collecting data from each lens and merging the same into a unified data output. According to one aspect, the present apparatus comprises a single integrated unit comprising two disparity-based stereo image sensors (e.g., cameras) for capturing stereo image data (e.g., relating to three-dimensional images and object-tracking) and a single high resolution sensor (e.g., camera) for capturing high resolution and/or color data. Thus, generally, one aspect of the present platform includes three (3) cameras—two cameras directed to stereo vision capabilities, and a third camera directed to high resolution uses. In other embodiments, other camera configurations, numbers, and arrangements are possible as will occur to one of ordinary skill in the art.
