5. A camera system comprising:
a housing;
a bench disposed within the housing, wherein the bench comprises a platform, a plurality of extensions and a plurality of openings;
a first camera module disposed within the housing, wherein the first camera module is mounted to a first panel of a first extension descending from a lower surface of the platform, wherein a first axis of orientation of the first camera module extends below a plane defined by the platform and outward from a yaw axis of the housing;
a second camera module disposed within the housing, wherein the second camera module is mounted to a second panel of a second extension descending from the lower surface of the platform, and wherein a second axis of orientation of the second camera module extends below the plane defined by the platform and outward from the yaw axis of the housing;
a third camera module disposed within the housing, wherein the third camera module is mounted to a third panel of a third extension descending from the lower surface of the platform, wherein a third axis of orientation of the third camera module extends below the plane defined by the platform and inward toward the yaw axis of the housing; and
a fourth camera module disposed within the housing, wherein the fourth camera module is mounted to a fourth panel of a fourth extension descending from the lower surface of the platform, wherein a fourth axis of orientation of the fourth camera module extends below the plane defined by the platform and inward toward the yaw axis of the housing.
