Riassunto

This book features representative work in the design of panoramic image capturing systems, the theory involved in the imaging process, and applications that use panoramic images. This book allows the reader to understand the more technical aspects of panoramic vision, such as sensor design and imaging techniques. Researchers and students especially will find this book useful.

Recensione

From the reviews:

"I first congratulate the authors for the efforts they have done to explain with great detail and easy language such a complex argument as panoramic vision. ... This book is a good ‘database’ of arguments on theoretical and practical aspects of panoramic vision. In fact, both algorithmic and implementation items are treated with great accuracy ... . The book has been written by many authors yet the chapters present homogeneity and good coordination in exposing different arguments." (Nello Balossino, The Computer Journal, Vol. 45 (6), 2002)

"This book presents the rebirth of panoramic vision as it is applied to computer vision. It focuses on the creation and analysis of images with fields of view that are much greater than those obtained from typical cameras. ... Overall, this is an informative and coherent reference text that provides details of current research in this field. It is suitable for researchers and professionals involved with computer vision, virtual reality, teleconferencing, imaging systems, and robotics." (The Industrial Robot, Vol. 29 (2), 2002)
