A method for panoramic stereo image acquisition

One of the key technologies for one-to-many visual communication is panoramic stereo, in which stereoscopic images for arbitrary horizontal directions are presented to multiple users, according to their positions and postures. In this paper, one of the methods for capturing panoramic stereo motion pictures is proposed and evaluated, along with an experimentation. Through preliminary experimentation, we have confirmed the effectiveness of methods using a curved mirror. Key words: panoramic stereo, omni-directional imaging, catacaustic
