stereo Display of Large scenes from Monocurar fmages Using a Novel Non-frontal Carnera*

This paper is concerned with obtaining a stereo display of a panoramic sceneIt uses a iovel non_ frontal camera whose image plane is not perpen_ dicular to the optical axis as is strndarJ. ihis special imaging geometry eliminates the usual focusing need of image plane movement while pan_ uing the camera to view panoramic scenes. Cam_ era_ movement thus integrates panning, focusing and range estimation. A focused imaqe of thI large scene is then combined wiih the ianse information to obtain a stereo display. Some rlults in obtaitring a stereo display of a panoramrc scene are also shown.
