Panoramic cameras for 3D computation

چکیده
In this paper, we review design and principles of existing panoramic cameras. Panoramic cameras which enable 3D computation in reasonable time for real time applications are emphasized. We classify panoramic cameras w.r.t. their construction, field of view, and existence of a single projective center. Using this classification we state a utility of the central catadioptric panoramic cameras. We show from which mirrors and conventional cameras can be constructed and expose that they are the only ones for which the epipolar geometry can be simply generalized.

Stereo Panorama with a Single Camera
Full panoramic images, covering 360 degrees, can be created either by using panoramic cameras or by mosaicing together many regular images. Creating panoramic views in stereo, where one panorama is generated for the left eye, and another panorama is generated for the right eye is more problematic. Earlier attempts to mosaic images from a rotating pair of stereo cameras faced severe problems of ...
متن کاملComputation of Epipolar Geometry and Trifocal Tensor from Spherical Images
We formulate multiple view geometry for 3D reconstruction using a spherical-camera model as a normalized camera model expressing all central cameras. In the sense of geometry, a central camera is a collection of all rays incident to one point. Generally speaking, most cameras that are widely-used in the field of computer vision and robot vision are designed to fall into the central camera. This...
متن کاملFiducial Planning for Error-Bounded Pose Estimation of a Panoramic Camera in Large Environments
INTRODUCTION Panoramic image sensors are becoming increasingly popular because they capture large portions of the visual field in a single image. These cameras are particularly effective for capturing and navigating through large, complex 3D environments. Existing vision-based camera pose algorithms are derived for standard field-ofview (FOV) cameras, but few algorithms have been proposed to ta...
متن کاملDevelopment and Application of an Extended Geometric Model for High Resolution Panoramic Cameras
Digital panoramic photography has become a popular tool to record landscapes, city squares or indoor scenes in a single image with a full 360° view. In photogrammetric applications, a digital panoramic camera may present an interesting alternative to conventional image acquisition techniques such as large format film or plate based cameras. Advantages of such a camera are their very high resolu...
متن کاملModelling and accuracy estimation of a new omnidirectional depth computation sensor
Depth computation is an attractive feature in computer vision. The use of traditional perspective cameras for panoramic perception requires several images, most likely implying the use of several cameras or of a sensor with mobile elements. Moreover, misalignments can appear for non-static scenes. Omnidirectional cameras offer a much wider field of view (FOV) than perspective cameras, capture a...
