Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer programs are disclosed for image data transmission for a camera system. In one embodiment, a camera system is disclosed to include a plurality of camera image sensors each including a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Differential Physical Layer (D-PHY) interface and a circuit to process image frames obtained from the plurality of camera image sensors through a single MIPI D-PHY interface of the circuit, and the circuit to transmit one or more trigger signals to the plurality of camera image sensors to cause obtaining the image frames from the plurality of camera image sensors one at a time based on the one or more trigger signals, the image frames to be transmitted through a single MIPI D-PHY connection between the single MIPI D-PHY interface of the circuit and MIPI D-PHY interfaces of the plurality of camera image sensors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods, systems, and software for control of digital camera systems. In one embodiment, a digital camera system includes a lens and an image sensor. The digital camera system is rotatable about a single axis, and the image sensor has more pixel sensors in a first orientation substantially parallel to the single axis than in a second orientation perpendicular to the first orientation. Additionally, an application, coupled to the digital camera system via a wireless network, is to control rotation of the digital camera system.
