Panoramic mosaicing with a 180° field of view lens

Abstract
We presents a technique for 360~x~360 mosaicing with a very wide field ofview fish eye lens. Standard camera calibration is extended for lenseswith a field of view bigger than $180^\circ$. We demonstrate thecalibration on a Nikon FC-E8 fish eye converter, which is an example ofa low-cost lens with $183^\circ$ field of view. We illustrate the use ofthis lens on one application, the 360~x~360 mosaic which provides$360^\circ$ field of view in both vertical and horizontal direction.
