The ability to precisely and thoroughly map, measure and survey indoor environments has become a major requirement for a variety of applications in industries like civil engineering, architecture, security, movie productions, asset management, and many more. Most of these applications do not only expect precise information about the 3D geometry of the mapped environment but also require high resolution imagery. To this end, state-of-the-art mobile mapping system are equipped with 360 degree panoramic cameras. These mapping systems, however, are typically operated by a person, which consequently occludes part of the field of view of the panoramic camera. A novel design of a panoramic camera rig is proposed consisting of multiple individual cameras, arranged in a way such that the operator is hidden in the blind angle of the individual cameras. The resulting parallax effect is corrected by exploiting information about the 3D geometry of the surrounding environment. |
