Using pano-mapping tables for unwarping of omni-images into panoramic and perspective-view images

چکیده
A unified approach to unwarping of omni-images into panoramic or perspective-view images is proposed. The approach does not adopt the conventional technique of calibrating the related parameters of an omni-camera. Instead, it is based on a new concept of a pano-mapping table, which is created once forever, by a simple learning process for an omni-camera of any kind, as a summary of the information conveyed by all the camera parameters. The learning process takes, as input, a set of landmark point pairs, in the world space and in a given image. With the help of the pano-mapping table, any panoramic or perspective-view image can be created from an input omni-image taken by the omni-camera, according to an analytic computation process proposed in the paper. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed approach.

A New 3D Imaging System Using a Portable Two-Camera Omni-Imaging Device for Construction and Browsing of Human-Reachable Environments
As an improvement on existing street view systems which cannot be moved to certain environments to acquire images, a new 3D imaging system using a portable two-camera omni-imaging device is proposed. The device can be carried on one’s back and moved on foot to any indoor and outdoor scene spot to acquire omni-images which cover the entire spherical view of the scene with an overlapping image ba...

متن کاملImproving quality of unwarped omni-images with irregularly-distributed unfilled pixels by a new edge-preserving interpolation technique
A new method called ‘‘edge-preserving 8-directional two-layered weighting interpolation’’ is proposed for interpolating unfilled pixels in a perspective-view or panoramic image resulting from unwarping an omni-image taken by a non-single-view-point hypercatadioptric camera. This method can solve the problem of edge preserving in interpolating the input image which has many irregularly-distribut...
متن کاملAnalytic image unwarping by a systematic calibration method for omni-directional cameras with hyperbolic-shaped mirrors
Unwarping an omni-directional image into a perspective-view one is easy for a single-viewpoint (SVP) designed catadioptric omnidirectional camera. But misalignment between the components (such as the mirror and the lens) of this kind of camera creates multiple viewpoints and distorts the unwarped image if the SVP constraint is assumed. The SVP constraint is relaxed in this study and a systemati...
