Abstract
This paper reviews research related to the design, production and application of cylindrical panoramic cameras. Such a camera is characterized by rotating linear sensors capturing one image column at a time. This allows for accurate mappings onto a cylindrical image surface and very high image resolutions paid by motion distortions in dynamic scenes. These panoramic images can be used, for example, for stereo visualization and stereo reconstruction in applications where extremely high image resolution is of benefit (for static scenes). The paper deals especially with aspects of stereo visualization and reconstruction.
