Research abstract
Circle Optics developed a novel technology for multi-camera systems that can enable simultaneous high-resolution and wide field of view imaging without the inefficiencies of gimbals, or the high distortion or time-consuming stitching burdens of existing systems. These revolutionary camera systems are designed optically and opto-mechanically to provide real-time tiled images from adjacent polygonal fields-of-view, without parallax or perspective errors. Circle Optics will seek to connect with AF customers who can benefit from using such a system to capture training videos for VR enabled service training or for photogrammetric mapping.
