Stereo Image Acquisition Using Camera Arrays
“Simultaneity” was one of the central concepts of the Cubist movement in early 20th century art, in which an object or scene is recorded from multiple angles to create an artwork that synthesises time and space. The instigators of Cubism (Picasso, and Braque) took some of their inspiration from the work of Eadweard Muybridge, who though rightly regarded as the father of motion pictures, was also the first person to record “frozen time” sequences with camera arrays. Today, such sequences can be produced at high resolution within 30s of a telegenic event by using arrays of digital stills or video cameras. They can also produce content in stereo; simultaneity indeed!
