Panoramic camera having multiple sensor systems and methods of collecting data of an environment using the same

A panoramic camera comprising:

• a plurality of sensor systems, each sensor system comprising at least one spatial sensor and at least one image sensor, and
• a mount for mounting to a support for supporting the camera such that at least part of the camera is rotatable relative to the mount or support on which the camera is mounted around a rotational axis;
• wherein:
• at least part of a field of view of each of the sensor systems differs to at least part of the field of view of each other of the sensor systems;
• the sensor systems are positioned such that at least part of the fields of view of each of the plurality of sensor systems, that respectively comprise fields of view of the at least one spatial sensor and the at least one imaging sensor of the respective sensor system, are distributed over a vertical direction, in use, such that a total field of view of all of the sensor systems extends above the camera;
• and
• the image sensors of the sensor systems are positioned along or on the rotational axis or a surface or axis substantially parallel, co-linear or co-directional to the rotational axis.
