Method and apparatus for the interactive display of any portion of a spherical image

摘要: Apparatus for interactive display of any portion a spherical image preferably comprises personal computer or other digital processor apparatus storing data representative at least one having 180 degree greater field view (or hemispherical image). In order to selected without warp distortion the seam between opposite images, edge filtering is applied eliminate halo effect. Moreover, an may either be obtained by creating mirror first capturing second means oppositely directed camera and image. Equations transformation are based on lens' characteristics including radius R.
