The PANOPTIC Camera: A Plenoptic Sensor with Real-Time Omnidirectional Capability

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Schmid, Luigi Bagnato, Yusuf Leblebici, Laurent Jacques, Hossein Afshari

A new biologically-inspired vision sensor made of one hundred "eyes" is presented, which is suitable for real-time acquisition and processing of 3-D image sequences. This device, named the Panoptic camera, consists of a layered arrangement of approximately ...

Omnidirectional sensor array system

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Schmid, Luigi Bagnato, Yusuf Leblebici, Laurent Jacques, Hossein Afshari

An omnidirectional sensor array system, for example a panoptic camera, comprising a plurality of sensors arranged on a support of predetermined shape to acquire data, wherein said sensors are directional and wherein each sensor is attached to a processing ...

Foreground Silhouette Extraction robust to Sudden Changes of background Appearance

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Luigi Bagnato, Damien Colin Matti

Vision-based background subtraction algorithms model the intensity variation across time to classify a pixel as foreground. Unfortunately, such algorithms are sensitive to appearance changes of the background such as sudden changes of illumination or when ...

Plenoptic Spherical Sampling

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato

We present a novel plenoptic sampling scheme that permits an efficient representation of the full light ray field in a space limited by a convex closed surface. We show that a convenient way to sample the light ray field around an observer consists in usin ...

Omnidirectional Light Field Analysis and Reconstruction

Luigi Bagnato

Digital photography exists since 1975, when Steven Sasson attempted to build the first digital camera. Since then the concept of digital camera did not evolve much: an optical lens concentrates light rays onto a focal plane where a planar photosensitive ar ...

Hardware Implementation of an Omnidirectional Camera with Real-Time 3D Imaging Capability

Pierre Vandergheynst, Alexandre Schmid, Luigi Bagnato, Yusuf Leblebici, Laurent Jacques, Hossein Afshari

A novel hardware implementation of an omnidirectional image sensor is presented which is capable of acquiring and processing 3D image sequences in real time. The system consists of a hemispherical arrangement of a large number of CMOS imagers, connecting t ...

A Variational Framework for Structure from Motion in Omnidirectional Image Sequences

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato

We address the problem of depth and ego-motion estimation from omnidirectional images. We propose a correspondence-free structure from motion problem for images mapped on the 2-sphere. A novel graph-based variational framework is proposed for depth estimat ...

Fast Structure from Motion for Planar Image Sequences

Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato, Andreas Weishaupt

Dense three-dimensional reconstruction of a scene from images is a challenging task. Usually, it is achieved by finding correspondences in successive images and computing the distance by means of epipolar geometry. In this paper, we propose a variational f ...

Plenoptic based super-resolution for omnidirectional image sequences

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato

This paper addresses the reconstruction of high resolution omnidirectional images from a low resolution video acquired by an omnidirectional camera moving in a static scene. In order to exploit the additional information provided by the side images in the ...

Optical Flow and Depth from Motion for Omnidirectional Images using a TV-L1 Variational Framework on Graphs

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato

This paper deals with the problem of efficiently computing the optical flow of image sequences acquired by omnidirectional (nearly full field of view) cameras. We formulate the problem in the natural spherical geometry associated with these devices and ext ...
