Abstract
Pinhole camera model is a simplified subset of geometric optics.
In special cases like the image formation of the cone (a degenerate
conic section) mirror in an omnidirectional view catadioptric system,
there are more complex optical phenomena involved that the simple
pinhole model can not explain. We show that using the full geometric
optics model a true single viewpoint cone mirror omni-directional system
can be built. We show how such a system is built first, and then show in
detail how each optical phenomenon works together to make the system
true single viewpoint. The new system requires only simple off-the-shelf
components and still outperforms other single viewpoint omni-systems for
many applications
