Omni-directional VisionTechnical characteristics
Omni-directional vision technology utilizes the principle of specular reflection, expanding view of vision system. Using just one camera, we can observe the whole surroundings within the 360 degree of the panoramic visual system, which can dramatically lower the complexity and difficulty of the system design and reduce the cost of the system.
In the omni-directional vision system, the picture pick-up devices do not peep sight of the external environment directly, but face a hyperboloid viewfinder. The light from yonder objects concentrates on the lens of picture pick-up device through the specular reflection, forming image information on the sensors of the picture pick-up devices.
Omni-directional vision system is widely used in the fields of robots, vehicles, security monitoring, videoconference, instruction, etc. Equipped with omni-directional vision software, the vision system can perform dynamic targets tracking, timed recording, etc. in real time from the panoramic images, and acquire high-quality images.
