Claim:
A method for color calibrating a series of cameras capturing different portions of a scene, the method comprising: selecting a first of a plurality of cameras as a reference camera, wherein each of the plurality of cameras is configured to capture different portions of the scene; calibrating color component mean values of the reference camera by adjusting color settings of the reference camera, wherein the calibrated color component mean values of the reference camera are based on a first overlapping portion of the scene as captured by the reference camera, and wherein a second camera of the plurality of cameras is configured to capture the first overlapping portion of the scene and a second overlapping portion of the scene; adjusting color settings of the second camera, in response to the calibrating, to cause color component mean values of the second camera to substantially match the calibrated color component mean values of the reference camera, wherein the adjusting the color settings of the second camera is based on the first overlapping portion of the scene as captured by the second camera.
