This survey is mainly motivated by the increased availability and use of panoramic image
acquisition devices, in computer vision and various of its applications. Different technologies …

We describe a new omnidirectional stereo imaging system that uses a concave lens and a
convex mirror to produce a stereo pair of images on the sensor of a conventional camera …

This paper presents a method for determining the six degree-of-freedom transformation
between a camera and a base frame of interest. A planar mirror is maneuvered so as to …

A perspective image represents the spatial relationships of objects in a scene as they
appear from a single viewpoint. In contrast, a multiperspective image combines what is seen …

Mirroring is one of the fundamental light/surface interactions occurring in the real world.
Surfaces often cause specular reflection, making it necessary to design robust geometry …

We describe the design and 3D sensing performance of an omnidirectional stereo
(omnistereo) vision system applied to Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). The proposed …

The current work addresses the problem of 3D model tracking in the context of monocular
and stereo omnidirectional vision in order to estimate the camera pose. To this end, we track …

Catadioptric omnidirectional vision sensor (ODVS) with a fixed single view point is a fast and
reliable single panoramic visual information acquisition equipment. This paper presents a …

This paper presents a method for estimating the six-degrees-of-freedom transformation
between a camera and the body of the robot on which it is rigidly attached. The robot …

We design a novel “folded” spherical catadioptric rig (formed by two coaxially-aligned
spherical mirrors of distinct radii and a single perspective camera) to recover near-spherical …
