Abstract:
A fixed-pivot camera support for fully-spherical imaging, includes a base, a support art, and a camera mount. The base is configured to move in a circular path centered about a pivot axis. The support arm has a proximal end attached to the base, and a distal end extending beyond the base toward the pivot axis. The camera mount is on the distal end and is configured to position an optical axis of a camera to intersect the pivot axis.

Claim (Index 11):
A fully-spherical imaging system for capturing a panoramic image of a scene, comprising:\n a camera mount configured to (i) hold a camera in a first orientation in which an optical axis of the camera extends in a first axis-direction away from the camera and (ii) hold the camera in a second orientation in which the optical axis extends in a second axis-direction differing from the first axis-direction; a memory storing non-transitory computer-readable instructions; and a microprocessor configured to be communicatively coupled to the camera and adapted to execute the instructions to:\n capture, with the camera in the first orientation, a first image of a first scene-region of the scene, a first axial location on the optical axis when the first image is captured defining a first image-capture location; and \n capture, with the camera in the second orientation, a second image of a second scene-region of the scene when a second axial location on the optical axis is at the first image-capture location.
