Abstract

Telepresencesystems using an omnidirectional image sensor enable us to experienceremote sites with rich sensation. An omnidirectional multi-camerasystem is more useful to acquire high-resolution omnidirectional images of outdoor scenes than a monocular camera system. How ever, exactalibration of the camera system is necessary to generate a panoramic movie. In this paper, we describ e panormnic movie generation method based on geometric and photometric calibration of the omnidirectional multi-camerasystem. Some prototype of telepresence system are also shown as applications of generated panoramic movies. These high-resolution telepresence systems have been proven to enable us to experienceremote sites with high presence.
