Information related to general dome/fisheye content

The following is a collection of material related to the generation and projection of fisheye content onto hemispherical dome surfaces eg: planetariums. For information specifically on the spherical mirror see this link.

• Angular fisheye projections
  Including offaxis fisheye projections. Summary of the mathematics.

• cube2dome
  Creating fisheye images from cubic maps.

• Unity3D
  Creating fisheye images in the Unity3D game engine.

• spheremapper
  Geometric correction of fisheye images for direction projection into a hemisphere.

• Extreme fisheye and "little planet" images
  Interesting fisheye images when the fisheye angle extends to 360 degrees and a similar style using stereographic projections.

• Possible options for using 4 projectors in the idome.

• Testing various fisheye capture options
  Includes the Oneshot and Lomography still cameras and the Canon HV20 (with Nikon FC-E9 fisheye lens) for video capture.
  Example of the Canon 5D and Canon EF8-15mm fisheye lens

• Fisheye and spherical capture using the LadyBug camera.
  Including an exercise to capture footage of iron ore ship loading fir a remote operations prototype.

• Tilting and rotating fisheye images
  Compensating for dome orientation and or clipped fisheye lens capture.

• Creating fisheye projections from spherical maps and panoramic images

• Converting fisheye images to ....
  Panoramic images, perspective projections, (partial) spherical maps.

• Wii + MacBook Pro + Dome
  Example using the Wii to navigate within an immersive environment

• iSphere
  A proposed immersive environment.

• Image panels on a fisheye projection
  Various ways of mapping perspective projections on fisheye images.

• Interactive fisheye image generation
  Multipass texture approach
