Claim:
1. An image capture system comprising: a first housing suitable for being thrown into an airborne trajectory comprising a first camera, a first orientation sensor that determines an orientation of the first housing, and a first network interface for wirelessly transmitting a first captured image and first orientation data, wherein the first orientation data indicates the orientation of the first housing at substantially the same time as the capture of the first image; a second housing suitable for being thrown into an airborne trajectory comprising a second camera, a second orientation sensor that determines an orientation of the second housing, and a second network interface for wirelessly transmitting a second captured image and second orientation data, wherein the second orientation data indicates the orientation of the second housing at substantially the same time as the capture of the second image; a client device comprising a memory, a third network interface which is wirelessly connected to the first network interface and the second network interface, and an image processor, wherein the image processor rotates the first captured image in response to the first orientation data, and stitches the first captured image and the second captured image together to obtain a substantially seamless panoramic image.
