Unifying Image Plane Liftings for Central Catadioptric and Dioptric Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study projection systems with a single viewpoint, including combinations of mirrors and lenses (catadioptric) as well as just lenses with or without radial distortion (dioptric systems). Firstly, we extend a wellknown unifying model for catadioptric systems to incorporate a class of dioptric systems with radial distortion. Secondly, we provide a new representation for the image planes of central systems. This representation is the lifting through a Veronese map of the original image plane to the 5D projective space. We study how a collineation in the original image plane can be transferred to a collineation in the lifted space and we find that the locus of the lifted points which correspond to projections of world lines is a plane in parabolic catadioptric systems and a hyperplane in case of radial lens distortion.

In this paper, we study projection systems with a single effective viewpoint, including combinations of mirrors and lenses (catadioptric) as well as just lenses with or without radial distortion (dioptric systems).

متن کاملAnalytical Forward Projection for Axial Non-Central Dioptric & Catadioptric Cameras
We present a technique for modeling non-central catadioptric cameras consisting of a perspective camera and a rotationally symmetric conic reflector. While previous approaches use a central approximation and/or iterative methods for forward projection, we present an analytical solution. This allows computation of the optical path from a given 3D point to the given viewpoint by solving a 6 degre...

CATADIOPTRIC PROJECTIVE GEOMETRY: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS Christopher Michael Geyer Supervisor: Kostas Daniilidis Catadioptric cameras are devices which use both mirrors (catadioptric elements) and lenses (dioptric elements) to form images. In computer vision and robotics, catadioptric cameras have been used for their wide field of view. Such cameras often have a field of view greater than 180Æ...
متن کاملA Unifying Theory for Central Panoramic Systems and Practical Applications
Omnidirectional vision systems can provide panoramic alertness in surveillance, improve navigational capabilities, and produce panoramic images for multimedia. Catadioptric realizations of omnidirectional vision combine reflective surfaces and lenses. A particular class of them, the central panoramic systems, preserve the uniqueness of the projection viewpoint. In fact, every central projection...
متن کاملUnitary torus model for conical mirror based catadioptric system
Catadioptric systems consist of the combination of lenses and mirrors. From them, central panoramic systems stand out because they provide a unique effective viewpoint, leading to the well-known unifying theory for central catadioptric systems. This paper considers catadioptric systems consisting of a conical mirror and a perspective camera. Although a system with conical mirror does not posses...
