context_page_description: In photography, an omnidirectional camera, also known as 360-degree camera, is a camera having a field of view that covers approximately the entire sphere or at least a full circle in the horizontal plane.
  Omnidirectional cameras are important in areas where large visual field coverage is needed, such as in panoramic photography and robotics.
