Omnidirectional (360-degree) cameraIn photography, an omnidirectional camera (from "omni", meaning all), also known as 360-degree camera, is a camera having a field of view that covers approximately the entire sphere or at least a full circle in the horizontal plane. Omnidirectional cameras are important in areas where large visual field coverage is needed, such as in panoramic photography and robotics. A camera normally has a field of view that ranges from a few degrees to, at most, 180°. This means that it captures, at most, light falling onto the camera focal point through a hemisphere.
Réalité virtuellevignette|250x250px|Personnel de l'U.S. Navy utilisant un simulateur de parachute. L'expression « réalité virtuelle » (ou multimédia immersif ou réalité simulée par ordinateur) renvoie typiquement à une technologie informatique qui simule la présence physique d'un utilisateur dans un environnement artificiellement généré par des logiciels. La réalité virtuelle crée un environnement avec lequel l'utilisateur peut interagir. La réalité virtuelle reproduit donc artificiellement une expérience sensorielle, qui peut inclure la vue, le toucher, l'ouïe et l'odorat (visuelle, sonore ou haptique).
Bitonic tourIn computational geometry, a bitonic tour of a set of point sites in the Euclidean plane is a closed polygonal chain that has each site as one of its vertices, such that any vertical line crosses the chain at most twice. The optimal bitonic tour is a bitonic tour of minimum total length. It is a standard exercise in dynamic programming to devise a polynomial time algorithm that constructs the optimal bitonic tour. Although the usual method for solving it in this way takes time , a faster algorithm with time is known.
