I present a design technique for realizing given projections as catadioptric sensors. In
general, these problems do not have solutions, but approximate solutions may often be …

A critical step in designing any catadioptric system is determining the shape of its
component mirrors. Many mirror shapes have been designed in the past for numerous …

Mirroring is one of the fundamental light/surface interactions occurring in the real world.
Surfaces often cause specular reflection, making it necessary to design robust geometry …

Looking around in our every day environment, many of the encountered objects are
specular to some degree. Actively using this fact when reconstructing objects from image …

We consider the problem of designing a passenger side mirror for an automobile that does
not have a blind spot and that does not distort the image. Our model consists of a coupled …

This paper proposes an in vivo laparoscopic lighting system design to address the
illumination issues, namely poor lighting uniformity and low optical efficiency, existing in the …

1. Field of the Invention The invention is directed to a curved reflective surface capable of
providing a substantially undistorted wide-angle field of view and a computer program for …

Résumé La reconstruction de surfaces spéculairesa partir d'images est un domaine
relativement peu exploré, du fait du caractere peu commun de ces objets, et la complexité …

In this paper we present an optimal omnidirectional visual sensor which can replace
perspective camera network for traffic diagnosis. The proposed system has the advantage …
