Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image capturing apparatus with a substantially spherical field of view and connectable, connected or integrated with a personal electronic device such as a smartphone. The image capturing device comprises at least two optical arrangements with different respective fields of view, each of the optical arrangements covering a part of a sphere and comprising a lens and a sensor for capturing the light coming through the lens, the at least two optical arrangements covering a substantially spherical field of view; a control unit for controlling the at least two optical arrangements to capture at least two sequences of video images provided by the at least two optical arrangements in parallel; a processing unit for merging the at least two sequences of video images to form a single sequence of video images during the capturing of the respective at least two sequences of video images covering a sphere; and an output unit for outputting to the personal electronic device the captured images of the merged sequence of video images.

Claim (Index 18):
The image capturing apparatus according to  claim 17 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to perform stitching of the two video sequences of images to form a single sequence of spherical images within a time shorter than or equal to a time period between capturing of two consecutive images or to perform stitching of the two video sequences of images to form a single sequence of spherical images in a plurality of processing stages, of which each is shorter than or equal to the time between capturing two successive images of a video sequence, wherein the successive images are processed in parallel by the plurality of stages.
