Abstract: Accurate and efficient volumetric magnetic field measurements are essential for a wide range of applications. Conventional methods are often limited in terms of measurement speed and applicability, or suffer from scaling problems at larger volumes. This work presents a proof-of-concept field camera designed to measure magnetic fields within a spherical volume at a frame rate of 10 Hz. The camera features an array of 3D Hall magnetometers positioned according to a spherical t-design, allowing simultaneous magnetic field data acquisition from the surface of the sphere. The approach enables the efficient representation of all three components of the magnetic field inside the sphere using a sixth-degree polynomial, significantly reducing measurement time compared to sequential methods. This work details the design, calibration, and measurement methods of the field camera. To evaluate its performance, we compare it to a sequential single-sensor measurement by examining a magnetic gradient field. The obtained measurement uncertainties of approx. 1% demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and its potential applicability to a variety of future applications.
