An imaging system may include a housing having shape and size sufficient to receive an industrial tool inserted into the housing. The imaging system may further include a plurality of cameras and a plurality of light sources positioned within the housing in a manner to surround the industrial tool upon insertion of the industrial tool into the housing. The imaging system may include a processing unit to control operation of the cameras and light sources and adjust relative positions of the cameras and light sources in relation to the industrial tool to capture a plurality of images of relevant portions of the industrial tool. The plurality of images collectively reveals substantially all of the relevant portions of the industrial tool. A method and computer-readable medium are also disclosed.

A camera system includes: a first camera and a second camera; a camera adaptor box; and a camera control unit.
