In this paper, based on the proposed basic implementation of circular projection, a multi-camera setup which can be used for panoramic stereo imaging is presented. Firstly, we get multiple stereo pairs instantly by fixing multiple cameras on the proposed setup, which is an approximate implementation of circular projection. We then prove that the influence on the resultant stereo pairs generated by this approximate setup is slight based on similar triangles and structural similarity (SSIM). With these stereo pairs, the automatic panoramic image stitching algorithm is applied to generate panoramas for both eyes. In addition, with reasonable distance between cameras and the scene, physical dimensions of this setup are given. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that our scheme can be used to generate cylindrical stereo panoramic image with proper scene depth, which can provide viewers with distinguishing stereoscopic experience. The device can be installed on the mobile equipment and captures panoramic stereo image in a moment without stopping. In the future, the proposed setup can be used in the field of network navigation, video monitor and virtual reality.KeywordsPanoramic imageStereo imageImage stitching
