Panoramic Mosaicing with a . . .

We presents a technique for 360 x 360 mosaicing with a very wide field of view fish eye lens. Standard camera calibration is extended for lenses with a field of view bigger than 180°. We demonstrate the calibration on a Nikon FCE8 fish eye converter, which is an example of a low-cost lens with 183° field of view. We illustrate the use of this lens on one application, the 360 x 360 mosaic which provides 360° field of view in both vertical and horizontal direction
