PANORAMIC VIEWING SYSTEM WITH OFFSET VIRTUAL OPTICAL CENTERS

摘要

Cameras are positioned so that they each view a different reflective surface of a polyhedron such as a pyramid. This results in each camera having a virtual optic al center positioned within the pyramid. The cameras are positioned so that their virtual optical centers are offset from each other. The offsets produce narrow blind regions tha t remove image distortions received from the edges of the pyramid's reflective surfaces.
