Omnidirectional imaging with hyperboloidal projection

Described here is an image sensor with a hyperboloidal mirror for vision based navigation of a mobile robot. Its name is HyperOmni Vision. This sensing system can acquire an omnidirectional view around the robot, in real-time, with use of a hyperboloidal mirror.
