Abstract
To recognize the whole three-dimensional environment, it is necessary to take images of real scenes in all directions and to obtain depth information from the two-dimensional images. In this report, we present an omnidirectional stereo method. Our method can detect disparities between two omnidirectional images. We first take two omnidirectional images at different heights using the omnidirectional sensor HyperOmni Vision, and then detect corresponding points between a pair of omnidirectional stereo images and obtain three-dimensional information. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed method with real omnidirectional images.
