Title: System and method for registration of cubic fisheye hemishpherical images
Inventor: HACK JEFF
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: Systems and methods for registering hemispheric images obtained using a fisheye lens for panoramic viewing, relating to spatial alignment and colour  balancing of complement half-side images derived from the hemispheric images . The systems and methods for spatial alignment determine the displacement of the digitized recorded images using a single translation and rotation model of distortion, which further evaluates the centre of projection, and the extent  of translation and rotation. The system and method for colour balancing iteratively increase (or decrease) the values of pixels near the edge (discontinuity) between the two half-sides of an image, each time taking int o consideration the average difference of pixel colour across a smaller strip of the edge near the pixel. This invention removes the colour differential but does not remove any detail underlying the features of the image.

Abstract: A non-intrusive apparatus and method for measuring vibration of an object along three axes. A vibration measurement device is provided which has three orthogonal right triangular panels forming a pyramidal shape having three 90~  angled corners which meet at an apex, wherein each triangular panel has an outer mirrored surface. The device is attached to an object which is subjected to vibration, such that the apex of the device points in a direction away from the object. A beam of light is directed onto the apex of the device such that a portion of the light is reflected off of each mirrored surface, sending reflected light in three directions to three different light sensors. The magnitude of vibration of the object can the be determined in each of three orthogonal directions, along three axes, by measuring the difference in movements of position between the reflected light and a reference beam.
