  • the invention relates to omnidirectional stereo photography apparatus for stills, video or film applications.
  • My GB Patent Application Nos 0018017.4 filed 21 July 2000 and 0019850.7 filed 11 August 2000 disclose omnidirectional stereoscopic viewing arrangements.
  • My GB Patent application No. 0023786.7 discloses arrangements for omnidirectional viewing which include imaging systems displaced on the same optical axis. ln omnidirectional imaging, the problem of image separation is amplified by the all round view of the sensors negating the use of cameras in a side by side configurations. The problem can further exacerbated by a 360 degree view results in image separation reversals.
  • the present invention seeks to address problems of the former type - that of image gathering without the second image sensor being visible to the first.
  • the problems of reversal can be dealt with by image processing. For authentic three-dimensional viewing we need to see round the side of an object recorded by the first sensor, and there can be no real substitute for the gathering of this information.
  • omnidirectional stereoscopic imaging apparatus comprises two imaging systems displaced on the same optical axis, one of which systems is larger than the other by a factor depending on a predetermined interocular distance.
  • omnidirectional image should be taken to include an image extending over a hemisphere, besides a sphere itself, and any image which is a major part of such an image.
  • a known fisheye or panoramic lens can provide a hemispherical field of view of a panoramic scene.
  • Parabolic convex mirrors can be used to provide similar hemispherical fields of view.
  • the imaging systems employ two convex reflecting means, one of which is larger than the other by a size factor determined by the amount of interocular distance required.
  • the main aim is to displace one recording from the next, consistently in a 360-degree horizontal axis, and ideally in a 360-degree vertical axis.
  • Interocular distances greater or less than standard 65mm separation can still achieve credible results for the purposes of hypersteroscopy- as in say in arial photography. In this instance the whole subject is too distant to give useful visible difference in a pair of stereo images with the standard 65mm separation, and an abnormal separation or greater distance is usually achieved by allowing time for the aircraft to travel an appropriate extra distance.
  • hypostereoscopy In a fixed image capture situation the distance in the separation is increased during image capture In macro or close up imaging, objects will be too displaced with standard separation, consequently the dimensional relief should be reduced by reducing the separation during the image capture this technique is referred as hypostereoscopy.
  • Each convex reflecting means may be arranged to reflect an image of a scene onto second reflecting means, the second reflecting means being arranged to reflect the image onto image sensing means.
  • the convex reflecting means can be hemispherical, parabolic, hyperbolic, ellipsoidal, or of a polygonal type where the polygon includes a plurality of planar or curved reflecting facets surrounding a central axis through the convex reflecting means. These can be whole or frusto- convex (truncated) sections.
  • the second reflecting means can be planar, concave or convex and any of the hemispherical, parabolic, hyperbolic, ellipsoidal shapes. Where the convex and second reflecting means have a curvature, these may be in confocal relationships. This embodiment may be enclosed by a transparent cover, or encased in a solid optic.
  • the two convex reflecting means may be arranged to reflect respective said images on to common second reflecting means for reflecting said images on to said image sensing means.
  • the smaller of said convex reflecting means may be co-axially mounted on the larger of the said convex reflecting means.
  • At least one of said convex reflecting means may be arranged to reflect an image of a scene directly on to image sensing means.
  • Each convex reflecting means may have one or more apertures or light ports for receiving light reflected from the second reflecting means, whereby incident light passes to the image sensing means.
  • each convex reflecting means may be of the polygonal type, including a plurality of facets surrounding a central axis through the convex reflecting means, and wherein either a central aperture is provided in the apex of the convex reflecting means, or apertures are provided at the midpoint of each facet.
  • the convex reflecting means may comprise a first set of facets, which are the sides of the polygonal convex reflector having an axis of symmetry, the second reflecting means including a second set of facets for reflecting light through a light port at the apex of the convex reflector, the second set of facets being arranged to reflect light which is incident on them only from the respective facets in the first set, whereby the image sensing means separately and respectively receives light from those parts of the panoramic scene reflected in the first set of facets of the convex reflector.
  • two fisheye lens systems can be spaced apart on the same axis, one lens system being larger than the other by the factor of the i nterocu lar d istance .
  • At least part of the smaller of said lens systems may be co-axially mounted on the larger of the said lens systems.
  • the two lens systems may be arranged to focus an image of a scene on to common image sensing means.
  • each lens system is separated into two parts, a first part being located so as to gather light from the scene whereby it is incident on image deflecting means, and the other part being located so as to receive light from the image deflecting means.
  • the first part of the smaller lens system may be mounted on the first part of the larger lens system.
  • the image deflecting means may be located within a central aperture of the first part of the larger lens system, the first part of the smaller lens system being mounted on said image deflecting means.
  • each lens system may be arranged to focus an image of a scene on to respective image sensing means.
  • omnidirectional imaging apparatus comprises two imaging systems displaced on the same optical axis by the interocular distance.
  • the two imaging systems may comprise two convex reflectors, each convex reflector preferably being arranged to reflect an image of a scene onto a second reflector, the second reflector being arranged to reflect the image onto an image sensing means.
  • each imaging system comprises means for focussing light of a different respective wavelength on to a respective image sensor.
  • one imaging system may comprise a lens system formed from Crown optical glass for focussing visible light, and the other imaging system may comprise a lens system formed from germanium for focussing infra red light. This can render the apparatus particularly suitable for night surveillance.
  • omnidirectional imaging apparatus comprises means having a surface for reflecting an omnidirectional image of a scene, means for deriving two views of the reflecting surface, which views are separated by the interocular distance.
  • the means for deriving two views of the reflecting surface can be a beam splitter, or a means of providing a binocular view, for example, where reflecting surfaces or prisms direct light on the respective right and left hand paths to lenses which focus the respective right and left images on a sensing surface.
