Abstract

Omni-directional imaging system is becoming more and more common in reducing the maintenance fees and the number of cameras used as well as increasing the angle of view in a single camera. Due to omni-directional images are not directly understandable,an approach namely the un-warping process, has been implemented in converting the omni-directional image to a panoramic image,making it understandable. There are different kinds of methods used for the implementation of this approach. This paper evaluates the performance of the 3 universal un-warping methods currently applied actively around the world in transforming omni-directionalimage to panoramic image, namely the pano-mapping table method, discrete geometry method (DGT) and the log-polar mappingmethod. The algorithm of these methods will first be proposed, and the code will then be generated and be tested on several differentomni-directional images. The images converted will then be compared among each other and be evaluated based on their performanceon the resolutions, quality, algorithm used, complexity based on Big-O computations, processing time, and finally their datacompression rate available for each of the methods. The most preferable un-warping method will then be concluded, taking intoconsiderations all these factors.
