VIPOL: A Virtual Polar-Logarithmic Sensor,
In The 10th Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis,
Lappeenranta, Finland, pp. 739-744, June 1997.In this article a new virtual Polar-Logarithmic Sensor, the so-called VIPOL2-Sensor, is being presented. The main characteristics of this sensor are its great flexibility and low construction costs. The VIPOL-Sensor gets its input from a standard CCD-camera as a video signal, calculates the Polar-Logarithmic Transformation in real time and generates a video output signal. By using video signals for the input and the output every standard camera can be used to get log-polar transformed images. In addition, some parameters of the sensor as the resolution of the input images and log-polar transformed images can be configured by using a standard RS-232 interface. Moreover, due to its flexibility, this sensor can be used to implement other kinds of geometrical mappings.
