    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of panoramic still and motion photography. In a first embodiment, a camera apparatus for panoramic photography includes a first image sensor positioned to capture a first image. The first image sensor has a rolling-shutter readout arranged in portrait orientation. The camera apparatus also includes second image sensor positioned to capture a second image. The second image sensor has a rolling-shutter readout arranged in portrait orientation. Finally, the camera apparatus includes a controller configured to signal the second image sensor to start capturing the second image before the first image sensor finishes capturing the first image. At least a portion of the first image is in front of the second image relative to a forward direction of the camera apparatus.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及全景静止和运动摄影领域。 在第一实施例中,用于全景摄影的相机装置包括被定位成捕获第一图像的第一图像传感器。 第一个图像传感器具有以纵向方向布置的滚动快门读出器。 相机装置还包括定位成捕获第二图像的第二图像传感器。 第二图像传感器具有以纵向方向布置的滚动快门读出器。 最后,相机装置包括控制器,被配置为在第一图像传感器完成第一图像捕获之前,信号通知第二图像传感器开始捕获第二图像。 第一图像的至少一部分相对于相机装置的向前方向在第二图像的前面。
