Towards a Real Time Panoramic Depth Sensor

Recently we have presented a system for panoramic depth imaging with a single standard camera. One of the problems of such a system is the fact that we cannot generate a stereo pair of images in real time. This paper presents a possible solution to this problem. Based on a new sensor setup simulations were performed to establish the quality of new results in comparison to results obtained with the old sensor setup. The goal of the paper is to reveal whether the new setup can be used for real time capturing of panoramic depth images and consequently for autonomous navigation of a mobile robot in a room.
