Abstract

An image capturing system includes a center point location, and a circular light source ring centered on the center point location. Light sources are on the circular light source ring, and each emit light in one of a number of spectral bandwidths. The image capturing system also includes circular camera rings, where each circular camera ring is centered on the center point location, where each circular camera ring includes camera locations which are equally spaced apart. The image capturing system also includes one or more cameras configured to capture images of an object from each of the camera locations of each particular circular camera ring, where the images captured from the camera locations of each particular circular camera ring are captured in one of the different spectral bandwidths, and where the object is illuminated by the light sources of the light source ring while each of the images are captured.
