RemoteReality proposes to design and develop a very high resolution, omnidirectional compact 360 degree periscope based on RemoteReality''s unique optical designs and very high resolution imagers with embedded processing. Employing a combination of RemoteRealitys catadioptric cameras with a rotating mirror in a pressure housing with a wide spectral band zoom lenses and fixed LLLTV and SWIR cameras, the entire system will have a single point of projection for generating accurate panoramic and perspective videos with no distortion. The system will use a cylindrical window on the housing which has the advantage that optical aberrations introduced by the window can be self corrected by using a mirror of the appropriate curvature. The use of light mirror based components, with minimal moving parts and no slip rings will result in a compact light package. The use of FPGA based embedded processing will further reduce the footprint of the system. RemoteReality patented approach backed by over 11 years of experience is one of the few approaches that yield repeatable wide angle camera systems in a small robust form factor, low cost and weight with high resolution.
