METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AND CALIBRATING PANORAMIC OPTICAL SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for identifying a panoramic optical system (WAO) to enable its intrinsic characteristics to be semi-automatically or automatically determined so as to be able to apply subsequently the digital processes for appropriate corrections of the perspectives and distortions specific to the identified panoramic optical system. According to the invention, the panoramic optical system has a marking device visible from outside through the front lens (1), allowing identification by an operator, and/or a marking device directly projected on the image plane through the optical system, for automatic identification and calibration.
