ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical system adapted to take or project high-definition images with well corrected aberrations for the purpose of taking images from a 360° panoramic scene on a cylindrical, conical or other three-dimensional surface or project such a three-dimensional display surface onto a 360° field of view. Images from the 360° panoramic scene are formed on a rotationally symmetric, three-dimensional image surface3. The optical system comprises at least one rotationally symmetric reflective surface2, the position of an entrance pupil4swith respect to a sagittal section is different from the position of an exit pupil4mwith respect to a meridional section.
