Abstract

In one example, an image sensor module comprises one or more covers having at least a first opening and a second opening, a first lens mounted in the first opening and having a first field of view (FOV) centered at a first axis having a first orientation, a second lens mounted in the second opening and having a second FOV centered at a second axis having a second orientation different from the first orientation, a first image sensor housed within the one or more covers and configured to detect light via the first lens, and a second image sensor housed within the one or more covers and configured to detect light via the second lens. The first image sensor and the second image sensor are configured to provide, based on the detected light, image data of a combined FOV larger than each of the first FOV and the second FOV.
