Description

The objective of this workshop is to promote the ideas of omnidirectional
vision and the interaction among people in this area. The program will
combine works addressing both theory and applications of omnidirectional
visual systems in computer vision as well as biology. The area of
omnidirectional sensing spans the spectrum from rotating cameras to
catadioptric sensors. Omnidirectional sensing might be also concave as is
the case in domes. Their geometrical properties are a challenging open
problem and the applications are expanding from surveillance to navigation
and entertainment. The workshop welcomes any submission with work on (but
not limited to)
 imaging and mirror surfaces sensor designs
 viewing constraints         geometry and reconstruction
 calibration                 image deformations and warping
 motion and stereo           navigation
 surveillance                panoramic visualization
using an omnidirectional vision system.
