Abstract
A camera system produces omnidirectional RGBD (reg-green-blue-depth) data, similar to a LiDAR but with additional registered RGB data. The system uses multiple cameras, fisheye lenses and computer vision procedures to compute a depth map. The system produces 360° RGB and depth, from a single viewpoint for both RGB and depth, without requiring stitching. RGB and depth registration may be obtained without extra computation and result presents zero parallax misalignment.
