In this work, we present a miniaturized high definition vision system inspired by insect eyes,
with a distributed illumination method, which can work in dark environments for proximity …

Omni-directional high resolution surveillance has a wide application range in defense and
security fields. Early systems used for this purpose are based on parabolic mirror or fisheye …

Interactive and contextualized applications have been aimed to support professionals in the
field of engineering in order to deal with the difficult of understanding technical diagrams …

Indoor exploration based on panoramic images has been of interest in both navigation and

The Panoptic camera is an omnidirectional multi-aperture visual system which is realized by
mounting multiple imaging sensors on a hemispherical frame. In this chapter, we will present …

Commonly, immersive and virtual reality systems simulate real environments exploiting 3D
computer graphics. This entails a considerable work to be done in models development and …

This PhD thesis deals with the study of new paradigms for exploiting data obtained from
virtual and real digital traces (ie from Social Networks, Location-Based Social Networks …

In this chapter, we present methods for creating and developing miniaturized high definition
vision systems inspired by insect eyes. Our approach is based on modeling biological …

In this chapter, we introduce panorama construction algorithms. These algorithms are
developed for software processing on a PC, and their real-time implementation is often not …

A panoptic camera allows to acquire a full 360 degree view of a scene by stitching images
from a set of cameras [1, 3, 2, 5]. The images from the cameras are acquired at different …
