Panoramic imagers with two fields of view and non-blind area
Aiming at the well known drawback of the catadioptric panoramic imaging technology
which has an observation blind area in front of the optical system
a new panoramic imager which has dual observation modes was designed in this paper. Compared with the traditional catadioptric panoramic imager
the instrument proposed could observe the forward 360°×(0°-55°) field of view and ring 360°×(55°-95°) field of view simultaneously. The forward field of view was a good complement to the central observation blind spot in ring field of view
which increased the utilization of CCD detector. The imaging instrument optical system consisted of a front lens group
a panoramic annular lens and a relay imaging system
and all surfaces of the optical system were spherical. The mechanical structure of the new optical system was designed as well. This paper provides a new design method for the catadioptric panoramic imaging technology.
