Development of 360-degree vision stereo camera system

摘要

The conventional 360-degree vision cameras varied such as: (1) many stereo cameras being arranged in different angles; (2) single stereo camera being panned; (3) using the large and small hyperboloid mirrors. We have developed a new technology related to a single dynamic 360-degree vision stereo camera by using one hyperboloid mirror. Specifically, the single camera is continuously moved in the vertical direction, the time (the number of frames) to travel a fixed distance on an image is measured, and the depth of the space is extracted. This paper compares the two methods, namely, of using the image obtained from the cameras as it is; and of carrying out a panoramic development, panorama deployment.
