Multi-camera dataset assembly and management with high precision timestamp requirements

A method and apparatus for synchronizing data captured by multiple image and non-image data capture devices using timing information. In one embodiment, the device comprises a plurality of interfaces operable to receive streaming data from each of a plurality of image and non-image capture devices and timestamping logic implemented, at least in part, in hardware and coupled to the plurality of interfaces to generate and assign timestamp information to each set of data captured by individual capture devices of the plurality of image and non-image capture devices to indicate when the data was captured, where the timestamp information is synchronized to a single timestamp reference clock. The device also comprises processing logic coupled to the timestamping logic to group image data from image capture devices with data from non-image capture devices using the timestamp information.
