Realization of Horse Vision System Based on Fisheye Cameras

Abstract

In this paper we propose a method of scene analysis based on a horse vision system. A horse vision system (HVS) consists of a pair of fisheye cameras which have a hemispherical field of view, respectively, and are laid to overlap each other partially. The characteristics of the HVS result in a representation which enables a wide omnidirectional monocular vision and a limited-field-of-view binocular vision simultaneously. We present the method of the rectification of the proposed HVS and the preliminary experimental results of scene analysis based on the HVS.
