Summary:Issue Title: Special Issue on Omni-Directional Research in Japan Conventional T.V. cameras are limited in their field of view. A real-time omnidirectional camera which can acquire an omnidirectional (360 degrees) field of view at video rate and which could be applied in a variety of fields, such as autonomous navigation, telepresence, virtual reality and remote monitoring, is presented. We have developed three different types of omnidirectional image sensors, and two different types of multiple-image sensing systems which consist of an omnidirectional image sensor and binocular vision. In this paper, we describe the outlines and fundamental optics of our developed sensors and show examples of applications for robot navigation.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
