Abstract

We introduce our cutting-edge panoramic camera – a True Panoramic Camera (TPC), designed for mobile smartphone applications. Leveraging prism optics and well-known imaging processing algorithms, our camera achieves parallax-free seamless stitching of images captured by dual cameras pointing in two different directions opposite to the normal. The result is an ultra-wide (140ox53o) panoramic Field-of-View (FOV) without the optical distortions typically associated with ultra-wide-angle lenses. Packed into a compact camera module measuring 22 mm (length) x 11 mm (width) x 9 mm (height) and integrated into a mobile testing platform featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, the TPC demonstrates unprecedented capabilities of capturing panoramic pictures in a single shot and recording panoramic videos.
