Abstract: An "immersive experience" motion picture theatre is provided either as a purpose-built structure or as a "retro-fit" of an existing domed theatre. The theatre of the invention has an audience seating deck (20) which slopes downwardly towards a screen (22) of part-cylindrical shape. The screen slopes upwardly and extends above the seating deck as well as wrapping around the sides of the seating deck. A projector (26) located within the seating deck (20) projects images onto the screen (22) about an upwardly oriented projection axis, through an orthographic fisheye lens which minimizes distortion of centre regions of the images. In this way, motion pictures that have been shot for showing on domed screens can be successfully projected onto the curved screen (22) of the invention.

Abstract: Certain optical imaging systems exhibit disparate vertical and horizontal image focal surfaces; at least one of which is tipped with respect to the optical axis. The projection optics which illuminates such systems must provide that the vertical image components focus upon the nominal vertical image surface, while the horizontal image components focus on the disparate horizontal image surface. Because at least one of these image surfaces may be tilted with respect to the projection axis, correction is required to maintain focus over the entire image surfaces and to eliminate keystoning. The system may also require differing vertical and horizontal image magnifications as projected upon the above disparate focal surfaces. This invention describes, inter alia, the techniques for meeting these varied requirements, to project a rectilinear object field such that it forms a final focused rectilinear image in a system having tipped and disparate image planes.

Abstract: A device for omnidirectional image viewing providing pan-and-tilt orientation, rotation, and magnification within a hemispherical field-of-view that utilizes no moving parts. The imaging device is based on the effect that the image from a fisheye lens (1), which produces a circular image of an entire hemispherical field-of-view, which can be mathematically corrected using high speed electronic circuitry (5, 6, 7, 12 and 13). More specifically, an incoming fisheye image from any image acquisition source (2) is captured in memory (4) of the device, a transformation is performed for the viewing region of interest and viewing direction, and a corrected image is output as a video image signal for viewing, recording, or analysis. As a result, this device can accomplish the functions of pan, tilt, rotation, and zoom throughout a hemispherical field-of-view without the need for any mechanical mechanisms. The preferred embodiment of the image transformation device can provide corrected images at real-time rates, compatible with standard video equipment. The device can be used for any application where a conventional pan-and-tilt or orientation mechanism might be considered including inspection, monitoring, surveillance, and target acquisition.
