Claim One:
1. A foveated wide-angle imaging system for capturing and viewing a wide-angle image, comprising: a foveated wide-angle camera system having a plurality of cameras that outputs raw output images; a center camera of the plurality of cameras that has a narrower field-of-view compared to a remainder of the plurality of cameras; a left set of cameras of the plurality of cameras located on a left of the center camera, each camera in the left set of cameras having an increasingly wider field-of-view when moving away to the left from the center camera, such that a first left camera next to and to the left of the center camera has a field-of-view wider than the center camera and a second left camera that is next to and to the left of the first left camera has a field-of-view wider than the center camera and the first left camera; a right set of cameras of the plurality of cameras located on a right of the center camera, each camera in the right set of cameras having an increasingly wider field-of-view when moving away to the right from the center camera, such that a first right camera next to and to the right of the center camera has a field-of-view wider than the center camera and a second right camera that is next to and to the right of the first right camera has a field-of-view wider than the center camera and the first right camera; and a foveated wide-angle image stitching system that processes the raw output images to generate a preliminary foveated wide-angle image.
