<abstract>
<p>The demand for capturing indoor spaces is rising with the digitalization trend in the construction industry. An efficient solution for
measuring challenging indoor environments is mobile mapping. Image-based systems with 360° panoramic coverage allow a rapid
data acquisition and can be processed to georeferenced 3D images hosted in cloud-based 3D geoinformation services. For the multiview
stereo camera system presented in this paper, a 360° coverage is achieved with a layout consisting of five horizontal stereo
image pairs in a circular arrangement. The design is implemented as a low-cost solution based on a 3D printed camera rig and action
cameras with fisheye lenses. The fisheye stereo system is successfully calibrated with accuracies sufficient for the applied
measurement task. A comparison of 3D distances with reference data delivers maximal deviations of 3 cm on typical distances in
indoor space of 2-8 m. Also the automatic computation of coloured point clouds from the stereo pairs is demonstrated.</p>
