Omnidirectional Vision System
For research and lectures the group TAMS has five different omnidirectional vision systems of type Panorama Eye®. The Panorama Eye® sensors we use are hyperboloidal mirrors that can be employed to create panoramic images of the robot's environment.
We have mirrors in three different sizes and with to different viewing angles:
- Large Type (Normal View)
- Middle Type (Normal & Wide View)
- Small Type (Normal & Wide View)
A Sony DFW-SX900 camera in combination with a FUJINON 9mm/F1.4-F16 HF9HA-1B lens is used to capture the images. The camera is a digital IEEE1394-camera with SXGA resolution of 1280x960 pixels. Its maximum framerate is 7.5 frames per second in YUV422.
The omnidirectional vision system is mounted upon the back of the robot in a height of approximately 1.95 m.
