GUMS: A Generalized Unified Model for Stereo Omnidirectional Vision (Demonstrated Via a Folded Catadioptric System)
GUMS: A Generalized Unified Model for Stereo Omnidirectional Vision (Demonstrated Via a Folded Catadioptric System)

GUMS is a complete projection model for omnidirectional stereo vision systems. GUMS is based on the existing generalized unified model (GUM), which we extend for fixed baseline sensors.

A Single-Camera Omni-Stereo Vision System for 3D Perception of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs)
A Single-Camera Omni-Stereo Vision System for 3D Perception of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs)

We introduce a catadioptric single-camera omnistereo vision system that uses a pair of custom-designed mirrors (in a folded configuration) satisfying the single view point (SVP) property as a good solution to the perception challenge of MAVs.

Generating near-spherical range panoramas by fusing optical flow and stereo from a single-camera folded catadioptric rig
Generating near-spherical range panoramas by fusing optical flow and stereo from a single-camera folded catadioptric rig

We design a novel 'folded' spherical catadioptric rig (formed by two coaxially-aligned spherical mirrors of distinct radii and a single perspective camera) to recover near-spherical range panoramas.
