Abstract:
This paper proposes a new and general model of panoramic images, namely polycentric panoramas, which formalizes the essential characteristics of panoramic image acquisition geometry. This new model is able to describe a wide range of panoramic images including those which have been previously introduced such as single-center, multi-perspective, or concentric panoramas [1, 5,11,14] and that are potentially of interest in further research. This paper presents a study of epipolar geometry for pairs of polycentric panoramas. The first and unique epipolar curve equation derived provides a unified approach for computing epipolar curves in more specific types of panoramic images. Examples of epipolar curves in different types of panoramic images are also discussed in the paper.
