OmniView technology package
===========================

This is AMIDA OmiView technology package. It contains source codes,
binary files and documentation required to implement the OmniView system.
It enables capturing large portion of space angle (approximately 120 per
360 degrees). It's intended use is to record multiple participants of
a meeting, sitting arround the desk (thus 360 degrees). It uses a single
camera, and a hyperbolic mirror to reconstruct the scene with minimum
deformation possible.


Structure of the package
========================

Package has the following structure:

AMI_Demo - contains source codes and executables of AMI Meeting room demo.
Image_Stabilization - contains source codes, concerned with image stabilization.
Documents - contains publications and other documents, concerning OmniView.
SkinColor_Model_AcqusitionTool - contains source codes and executables of tool
	for skin color locus model, for estimating probability of skin color
	in an image.
TAVFile - contains library for interfacing digital cameras, and video codecs.
Transform_LIB - contains source codes and minimal demo executables of image
	transformation library, running on GPU.

Each folder contains it's own README.txt with more details.

Transform_LIB can be run on a computer with graphics card GeForce 6600, or
better. It shows how to unwrap circular image of a hyperbolic mirror.

AMI_Demo requires camera with DirectShow support to run. It is full demo of
AMI Meeting Room.
