Design and Implementation of Multi-camera Systems Distributed over a Spherical Geometry

The current trend in constructing high-end computing systems consists of parallelizing large numbers of processors. A similar trend is observed in digital imaging where multiple camera inputs are utilized to obtain multiple images of a scene and thus enhance the performance envelope of the image capture. A methodology based on Voronoi diagrams is presented for coverage analysis of multi-camera systems mounted on spherical geometry. Interconnected network of camera concept is introduced for the purpose of the application development of multi-camera systems.
