Abstract
An omnidirectional image detection system, which uses a single camera to acquire distance information from dual images. In addition to the camera, an upper mirror and a lower mirror are all arranged coaxially. Both mirrors have reflective outer surfaces, symmetric about the axis, and both are generally conical in shape, with the apex toward the camera. The lower mirror (nearest the camera) is truncated at the apex and has an opening in its center that permits light from the upper mirror to pass to the camera. The camera receives an image from each mirror, and these images form a concentric dual image. The disparity between the images can be used to provide distance data or to generate a three-dimensional image.
