Abstract: A multi-module imaging system and an image-synchronization method are provided. The multi-module imaging system includes a photographic component having multiple photosensitive modules, an image signal processor and a data processor. The different photosensitive modules generate multiple sets of motion images respectively. The image signal processor then retrieves continuous frame images from each of the sets of motion images. The data processor obtains multiple frames generated at the same time from the continuous frame images and generates a composite frame that vertically combines the multiple frames by performing a vertical encoding procedure. Therefore, the multiple sets of motion images are encoded to be continuously-outputted multiple composite frames. Accordingly, the multi-module imaging system can synchronously output the frames that are generated by different photosensitive modules.
