1. A camera apparatus, comprising:
a first imaging sensor;
a second imaging sensor;
processor apparatus; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium in data communication with the processor apparatus and comprising one or more instructions which are configured to, when executed by the processor apparatus, cause the camera apparatus to:
capture a first hemispheric image of a scene via the first imaging sensor;
capture a second hemispheric image of the scene via the second imaging sensor;
generate a spherical image of the scene by stitching at least a portion of the first hemispheric image and at least a portion of the second hemispheric image;
project the spherical image of the scene onto six facets of a cube:
generate non-hemispheric images of the scene by splitting the spherical image projected onto the six facets of the cube, wherein individual ones of the non-hemispheric images of the scene include a portion of the spherical image projected onto the six facets of the cube and are encoded separately, and wherein the encoded individual ones are packed into A/V containers; and
store the non-hemispheric images of the scene, wherein the non-hemispheric images of the scene are separately decodable and combinable to provide a spherical view of the scene.
