    Abstract: The present invention implements the movement of an object in an image projected onto a dome-shaped screen while maintaining an original resolution without increasing the resolution of a video projector as a projection device. In a device for projecting an image onto the dome-shaped screen D, an aggregate of two or more video projectors 1A, 1B for projecting a moving image is disposed in a dome such that the range of projection from the aggregate covers the whole sphere, and the aggregate is mounted on a stand 2 having two or more rotating shafts.

    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus, comprising a first and a second image capturing units wherein the first and the second image capturing units arranged so that a part of an image capturing angle of view overlaps each other, the apparatus comprising a compositing unit configured to generate a composite image by performing compositing processing for combining images captured by each of the first and the second image capturing units, wherein the compositing unit, in a case where a first subject image and a second subject image, which are subject images of the same subject, are included duplicatively in the composite image, makes the second subject image not be displayed in the composite image by using a background image corresponding to a position of the second subject image.

    Abstract: Camera related methods and apparatus which are well suited for use in capturing stereoscopic image data, e.g., pairs of left and right eye images, are described. Various features relate to a camera rig which can be used to mount multiple cameras at the same time. In some embodiments the camera rig includes 3 mounting locations corresponding to 3 different directions 120 degrees apart. One or more of the mounting locations may be used at a given time. When a single camera pair is used the rig can be rotated to capture images corresponding to the locations where a camera pair is not mounted. Static images from those locations can then be combined with images corresponding to the forward direction to generate a 360 degree view. Alternatively camera pairs or individual cameras can be included in each of the mounting locations to capture video in multiple directions.

    Abstract: A multicamera panoramic imaging system having no parallax. In an example, the multicamera panoramic imaging system includes multiple discrete, imaging systems disposed in a side-by-side array, wherein a field of view of each discrete, imaging systems is conjoined with a field of view of each adjacent discrete imaging system, further wherein a stencil of chief rays at the edge of the field of view of any one of the discrete imaging systems will be substantially parallel to a stencil of chief rays at the edge of the field of view of any adjacent ones of the discrete imaging systems such that all of the substantially parallel stencils of chief rays appear to converge to a common point when viewed from object space. A method for forming an image of an object having no parallax.
