    Abstract: An example image system may include a lens that produces an image, an image sensor, an image stabilizer, and a controller. This image sensor has a first edge and an opposite second edge. The first edge is placed closer to lens such that it focuses on more distant objects. The image stabilizer provides a time-varying compensation of image motion at the image sensor. The controller operates the image capture system in a repeating cycle where the sensor exposes and reads out an image progressively from one edge to the opposite edge. The controller operates the image stabilizer to provide an image motion compensation that varies in time such that the image motion compensation is greater when exposing and reading the second edge of the sensor than when exposing and reading the first edge of the sensor.

    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.
