On Design and Applications of Cylindrical Panoramas

The paper briefly overviews the design and applications of cylindrical panoramic cameras characterized by a rotating linear sensor capturing one image column at time. The camera provides very high image resolutions paid by motion distortions in dynamic scenes. The images are used for stereo reconstruction and visualization of static scenes when extremely high image resolution is of benefit.
