Re: Poll: Would you be interested in an inexpensive Wide-Angle lens for the Axis Web

Funny you mention that. I think most RoboCup teams that are allowed use the camera pointed up towards a mirrored surface, hyperbolic is really common I think, so as to have coverage of the entire field. I spoke with a professor who built a cheapy version using a mirrored light bulb and a different transform, and they were able to use robot motion as a stereo-optical substitute with pretty good results.

RoboCup has very standard lines on the field and markings on the robots to make it a bit easier for vision, but it would be a cool system even if you only had a few items to reference for orientation.
