Abstract
Various examples are directed to a panoramic camera system comprising a first image sensor, a second image sensor and an enclosure. The first image sensor may have a first in-air field-of-view and the second image sensor may have a second in-air field-of-view. The first in-air field-of-view may overlap the second in-air field-of-view by greater than a threshold amount. The enclosure may comprise a curved outer surface. An alternate medium field-of-view of the first image sensor may overlap an alternate medium field-of-view of the second image sensor by greater than the threshold amount. The panoramic camera system may also comprise an image processor that is programmed to determine that the first image sensor and the second image sensor are within the enclosure. The panoramic camera system may stitch frames captured by the first and second image sensors considering an alternate medium stitching parameter.
