No, it is not possible. We are trying to get the best resolution of the camera, and so we can not compete with low-res video cameras that can be made much cheaper. Additionally Eyesis camera uses multiplexing of the channels (group of the 3 sensors acquires images simultaneously, but then compresses and stores them sequentially, that simplifies the overall system (Eyesis-4pi uses only 8 system boards and 8 SSD for 24 5MPix sensors) > > > -We think that if we get an interested customer, may think that 3-4 months > delivery (+adaptation to our system) is too long.

These cameras are very sophisticated as we are trying to push the performance limits, the new models require a lot of R&D work, development of additional software.

Our goal is to combine the optical distortion correction that we are working on with ERS distortion correction based on inertial data - that would give us pixel-accurate stitching, suitable fro the 3-d reconstruction.
