Abstract
A plurality of multi-camera systems and methods for imaging faint objects are disclosed, which includes an array of cameras that, when taken alone, are incapable of imaging such objects. The systems and methods may include common field arrays, hybrid field arrays, and/or adaptive field arrays.
Claims20
An imaging system comprising:
- cameras configured to capture respective images;
- a computing device configured to combine the images to generate a combined image;
- and
- a timecode processor configured to provide timing data having a resolution or accuracy of about 10 milliseconds or fewer to the computing device to generate the combined image based on capture times of the images.
A method of generating a combined image, the method comprising:
- capturing respective images with cameras;
- combining, with a computing device, the images to generate the combined image comprising respective portions of the images;
- and
- providing timing data having a resolution of about 10 milliseconds or fewer from a timecode processor to the computing device to generate the combined image based on capture times of the images.
A non-transitory computer readable medium implemented on an imaging system, the non-transitory computer readable medium having computer code that, when executed on a processor, implements a method of generating a combined image, the method comprising:
- capturing respective images with cameras;
- combining, with the processor, the images to generate the combined image comprising respective portions of the images;
- and
- providing timing data having a resolution of about 10 milliseconds or fewer from a timecode processor to the processor to generate the combined image based on capture times of the images.
