Abstract:
In various embodiments, a finite aperture omni-directional camera is modeled by aligning a finite aperture lens and focal point with the omni-directional part of the projection. For example, each point on an image plane maps to a direction in camera space. For a spherical projection, the lens can be orientated along this direction and the focal point is picked along this direction at focal distance from the lens. For a cylindrical projection, the lens can be oriented along the projected direction on the two dimensional ( 2 D) xz-plane, as the projection is not omni-directional in the y direction. The focal point is picked along the (unprojected) direction so its projection on the xz-plane is at focal distance from the lens. The final outgoing ray can be constructed by sampling of point on this oriented lens and shooting a ray from there through the focal point.

Claim (Index 14):
The method as described in  claim 9  wherein said virtual reality (VR) camera system is a cylindrical VR 360 camera system or a spherical VR 360 camera system..
