1. A method for manufacturing a panoramic image sensor, comprising the steps of providing a sensor body, disposing on the surface of the sensor body a plurality of imaging sensors, each having a field of view, presenting a grid pattern to the plurality of imaging sensors and allowing said sensors to capture an image of the grid pattern appearing in its respective filed of view, and processing said captured images to identify overlapping regions within the filed of views of a plurality of sensors to thereby calibrate the plurality of image sensors to generate a panoramic image.
