Abstract
A camera system includes a base including a processing circuit and a communications circuit, a plurality of imagers, and a plurality of connections. The processing circuit is positioned in the base. The plurality of imagers are coupled to the processing circuit via the communications circuit, each imager including a lens and a sensor module that receives light via the lens and outputs a plurality of images based on the received light. The plurality of connections couple each imager to the processing circuit via the communications circuit. Each imager is mounted to an outside surface of the base or spaced from the base, each connection including at least one of a wired connection and a wireless connection. The processing circuit receives the plurality of images from each imager via each respective connection and generates a combined image using the plurality of images.
