With the rapid development of high-speed communication and artificial intelligence
technologies, human perception of real-world scenes is no longer limited to the use of small …

In this paper, we propose panoramic annular simultaneous localization and mapping (PA-
SLAM), a visual SLAM system based on a panoramic annular lens. A hybrid point selection …

We propose a compact form of the triple-channel panoramic annular lens (PAL) with a
stereo field and no central blind area based on polarization technology, which solves the …

Visual odometry has received a great deal of attention during the past decade. However,
being fragile to rapid motion and dynamic scenarios prevents it from practical use. Here, we …

We propose a compact dual-channel panoramic annular lens (PAL) with a large aperture
and high resolution to solve three major shortcomings of conventional PAL systems …

A panoramic annular lens (PAL) comprises a panoramic annular head unit (PAHU) and a
relay lens group. Due to the properties of annular imaging, single-channel PAL systems …

Semantic segmentation represents a promising means to unify different detection tasks,
especially pixel-wise traversability perception as the fundamental enabler in robotic vision …

This paper summarized the research status, imaging model, systems calibration, distortion
correction, and panoramic expansion of panoramic vision systems, pointed out the existing …

As a common but troublesome branch of stray light, ghost images in catadioptric optical
systems greatly limit the performances of such optics, including panoramic annular lenses …

The panoramic annular lens (PAL) is renowned for providing simultaneous vision of the
panoramic space. However, its inherent central blind area is a significant drawback. In this …
