Title: System and method for capturing horizontal disparity stereo panorama

PATENT ID:

US10154249

PATENT DOMAIN:

ABSTRACT: A system for capturing horizontal disparity stereo panorama is disclosed.  The system includes a multi surface selective light reflector unit, a secondary reflector and a computing unit.  The multi surface selective light reflector unit (a) obtains light rays from a 3D scene of outside world that are relevant to create (i) a left eye panorama and (ii) a right eye panorama and (b) reflects the light rays without internal reflections between the light rays.  The secondary reflector (a) obtains the reflected light rays from the multi surface selective light reflector unit and (b) reflects the light rays through the viewing aperture.  The computing unit captures (i) the reflected light rays from the secondary reflector and (ii) the upper part of the 3D scene from a concave lens as a warped image and processes the warped image to (a) the left eye panorama and (b) the right eye panorama.
