Abstract

This document describes the design process of fisheye optics designed for omnidirectional perception in automated guided vehicles. Requirements for a custom designed fisheye lens are first derived from the application requirements. Based on these requirements the selected measurement geometry and lens design are explained and justified. Some expected optical performance values are listed and also the upcoming test procedures are described. The overall target of the paper is to present the specification, design and test phases of the application oriented fisheye optics design task which was done as a part of the EC-funded PAN-Robots project.
