Description:
<jats:p>An omnidirectional camera can simultaneously capture all-round (360°) environmental information as well as the azimuth angle of a target object or person. By configuring a stereo camera set with two omnidirectional cameras, we can easily determine the azimuth angle of a target object or person per camera on the image information captured by the left and right cameras. A target person in an image can be localized by using a region-based convolutional neural network and the distance measured by the parallax in the combined azimuth angles.</jats:p>
