Super-resolution modeling and visualization system with wide field of view

Many applications in virtual reality and multimedia require to show a realistic virtual environment. High-resolution and wide field of view are some important factors of the reality. We proposed two techniques; super-resolution modeling and wide field of view catadioptrical head mounted display to enhance a reality for such applications. Super-resolution modeling improves a resolution of model that constructs the virtual view. The wide field of view HMD realized 180-degree field of view horizontally including human peripheral vision.
