Abstract

This paper presents a multicamera system for panoramic video capture. The system, named 5Cam, is constructed from low-cost digital cameras and standard PCs running on Windows. The approach for panoramic video generation consists of three phases (camera calibration, image fusion and synchronization, video stream production), which are described in detail in the paper. Using this approach, a 5Cam prototype has been implemented and evaluated. Initial experiments has shown that 5Cam system is effective, obtaining sufficiently high frame rate and quality for 360 degree video capture.
