Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a panoramic image include capturing image data from a plurality of cameras and storing the image data within a memory buffer of the respective camera; transmitting image data from an upstream camera to a downstream camera; and combining, within the downstream camera, the image data from the upstream camera with the image data of the downstream camera as combined image data. Each of the plurality of cameras may include an imaging array for capturing image data of a scene; a receiver for receiving image data from an upstream camera of the plurality of cameras; a memory buffer for: combining the image data received from the upstream camera with image data captured by the imaging array to form combined image data, and storing the combined image data; and a transmitter for transmitting the stored combined image data to a downstream camera of the plurality of camera.

Abstract: A keyboard camera device has a key array forming a keyboard and at least one camera configured with the keyboard and positioned with a field of view to view a user of the keyboard. An interface unit includes a keyboard controller for interfacing with an array of keys of the keyboard to detect key operations, a camera controller for controlling the at least one camera to capture images, and a host interface for receiving indication of the key operations and the images and for communicating the key operation indications and the images to one communication port of a computer.
