The Technology That Makes This Work
Building a good real-time video camera is a complex task. Building a great real-time panoramic camera with multi-imagers is a much more complex task, and requires deep technical expertise in video imaging technology. However, using multi-imagers brings its own set of challenges.
One problem to be solved is parallax. Parallex is the difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight. It is measured by the angle of inclination between those two lines.
So how do we adjust these angles so that the images can be integrated together? Geometric corrections is applied by bending the divergent lines and projecting them and their associated image on a virtual cylinder. This process turns the sharp angle into a shallow smooth surface.
Our team of advanced chip designers and optical specialists have made this type of electronic video possible with the PanaCast 2.
