Lectures by Jafar Amiri Parian (ETH Zürich) on 12th November 2007 Lecture material

The program for panoramic/spherical imaging

1. State of the art of panoramic techniques:
   Catadioptric systems (mirrors and camera(s))
   Dioptric systems (camera cluster, fisheye lens, stitching, direct scanning)
   
2. A joint sensor model for panoramic cameras and laser scanners
   An ideal sensor model for panoramic cameras
   Systematic errors
          Stationary errors
          Non-stationary errors
   
   A sensor model with additional parameters
   Object space constraint: 3D straight line Constraints
   A sensor model for laser scanner
   
3. Self-calibration results (with demo of the software)
   Panoramic cameras (EYESCAN, SpheroCam)
   Laser scanner (Imager 5003)
