Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for panoramic imaging using a wide- angle lens camera with leveling control mechanism and a method for transforming video images using non-linear spatial sampling correction. The apparatus comprises a single video camera mounted with a wide-angle lens that is covered by a transparent dome cover, a level control which consists of a two-axis tilt controller and gear, video capturing device and a joystick for adjustment of the leveling-control. The wide-angle lens is preferably a fisheye lens. The method, on the other hand, comprises capturing a circular image using a fisheye lens, transforming the spherical image produced by the fisheye lens into two hemispherical portions, initiating destination maps fro position of x-axis and y-axis to sepárate the circular image, and transforming resultant circular images using non-linear spatial sampling correction method into a human understandable perspective view.
