A novel group theoretical method is proposed for autonomous navigation based on a spherical image camera. The environment of a robot is captured on a sphere. The three dimensional...
–In contrast with the conventional trinocular planar image stereo in which the third camera is usually used to reduce the ambiguity on matching, every spherical camera of trinocu...
Robotic navigation algorithms increasingly make use of the panoramic field of view provided by omnidirectional images to assist with localization tasks. Since the images taken by ...
— An imaging sensor made of multiple light-weight non-overlapping cameras is an effective sensor for a small unmanned aerial vehicle that has strong payload limitation. This pape...
We present the design of a spherical imaging system with the following properties: (i) A 4 field of view that enables it to "see" in all directions; (ii) a single center...
