Abstract:

This paper provides a comprehensive study of omnidirectional vision technology. Omnidirectional technology refers to devices or systems that can detect, transmit, or receive signals in all directions. This technology is widely used in various fields, such as telecommunications, robotics, and multimedia. Omnidirectional technology can enhance wireless communication, navigation, and sensing efficiency and accuracy. Omnidirectional vision and cameras are critical components of omnidirectional technology, enabling devices to operate and interact with their environment more comprehensively and efficiently. This paper presents a complete study on omnidirectional vision, omnidirectional images and a comparative investigation of omnidirectional camera systems and other camera systems by highlighting omnidirectional vision's unique benefits. Based on the investigations, this paper provides solutions to the privacy issues in omnidirectional cameras using the proposed privacy-preserved omnidirectional Camera (PPOMDC) algorithm. Overall, the paper offers a comprehensive analysis of omnidirectional vision technology, its components, and potential applications in various fields and addresses the privacy concerns in omnidirectional technology.

Keywords:

Omnidirectional vision, Omnidirectional technology, 360-degree cameras, Omnidirectional cameras, Privacy concerns.
