Omnidirectional camera
In photography and computer vision, an omnidirectional camera (from "omni", meaning all), also known as 360-degree camera (or 360° camera), is a camera having a field of view that covers at least a full circle (360°) in the horizontal plane. It may be extended vertically up to a full sphere (1 spat), in which case it is also known as a spherical camera. Omnidirectional cameras are important in applications where large visual field coverage is needed, such as in panoramic photography, VR photography, and robotics.
