The present invention relates to a triggering system for triggering a plurality of vehicle-mounted cameras for obtaining a set of images. The present invention further relates to a camera system comprising the same.According to the present invention, the triggering system comprises a central unit and a plurality of camera controllers that each control one or more cameras.The present invention proposes a combination of a de-centralized updating process to determine the respective triggering time instants for the cameras, and a local timer in each of the camera controllers that is repeatedly synchronized using GNSS time information. This allows better control of the position of the entrance pupils of the cameras at the time of recording images. This will in turn produce a set of images that enables the generation of a panoramic image having less parallax-related errors.
