Vision Extension for a Ball Camera by Using Image Completion
Article No.: 4, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
A ball camera is a high tech ball equipped with cameras to obtain images from the ball's point of view. To capture 360° images with a minimum number of cameras, we embedded two ultra-wide-angle cameras in the ball. However, the two cameras were set diametrically opposite to each other; therefore, a blind spot was present, which could not be captured by the two cameras. Consequently, the obtained 360° image had a discontinuous part. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the ball camera and propose a method for completing the blind spot using image completion. We applied our method to the videos captured by the ball camera and proved this method successfully completes the blind spot and provides more real-life images.

Synthesizing fixed point of views from a spinning omnidirectional ball camera
AH '17: Proceedings of the 8th Augmented Human International ConferenceRecent years have seen the emergence of a new way to watch sports, that is, watching them from the ball's point of view (POV) taken with cameras embedded in the ball. The problem, however, is that the ball's POV is unstable since the ball spins. In this ...
