1.1.4 Hemispheric Technology
Featuring one (S15M) or two hemispheric L12 lenses (S15D), offers all the image views
known from MOBOTIX‘ other hemispheric cameras, including
Panorama, Panorama Focus,
Double Panorama, Full Image, Normal and Surround. What‘s new on the S15D is that the
selected view can be displayed as a dual image that combines both sensor modules.
The primary components of a hemispheric camera include a fisheye lens, a high-resolution
image sensor, and image correction software that is integrated into the camera. Using
an ultra-wide angle lens, the hemispheric camera captures a 180°-hemispheric image
of the room and projects it onto a high-resolution image sensor.
When ceiling mounted, the image area of the hemispheric camera covers the entire room.
The image in the hemisphere is convex, particularly near the image borders. These image
sections are corrected for the viewer by the integrated distortion correction software,
allowing a view of the scene from the usual perspective. The virtual PTZ feature allows
you to enlarge or move image sections within the hemisphere just like PTZ camera, yet
without the need for mechanical moving parts. Hemispheric cameras lack mechanical
moving parts and require low maintenance. In addition, they are silent when panning
and focusing on a specific image area.
