Abstract:
A system captures and combines image data from a plurality of image sensors to generate combined images. A plurality of individual rolling-shutter image sensors comprise a pair of adjacent image sensors. A controller combines image data captured by the plurality of individual rolling-shutter image sensors to generate a combined image, the combined image comprising first pixels captured by a first one of the adjacent image sensors, second pixels captured by a second one of the adjacent image sensors and a first boundary between the first pixels and the second pixels. A first one of the adjacent image sensors is configured to have a first integration and readout scanning direction along a first scanning axis and the second one of the adjacent image sensors is configured to have a second integration and readout scanning direction along the first scanning axis. Both of the first and second integration and readout scanning directions are oriented toward (or away from) the first boundary.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for capturing and combining image data from a plurality of individual rolling-shutter image sensors comprising at least one first pair of adjacent image sensors to generate combined images, the method comprising:\n combining image data captured by the plurality of individual rolling-shutter image sensors to generate a combined image by combining first pixels from a first individual image captured by a first one of the first pair of adjacent image sensors and second pixels from a second individual image captured by a second one of the first pair of adjacent image sensors and determining a first boundary between the first pixels and the second pixels; configuring the first one of the first pair of adjacent image sensors to have a first integration and readout scanning direction along a first scanning axis and the second one of the first pair of adjacent image sensors to have a second integration and readout scanning direction along the first scanning axis; and wherein both of the first and second integration and readout scanning directions are oriented toward the first boundary or both of the first and second integration and readout scanning directions are oriented away from the first boundary.
