About
Weiming Li is a researcher specializing in computer vision and optical imaging systems, with a particular focus on panoramic stereoscopic imaging and 3D scene reconstruction. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel single-camera panoramic stereoscopic system that ingeniously combines a fisheye lens with a hyperbolic mirror in a co-axial configuration. This innovative design enables 3D Euclidean space localization of object points by exploiting the overlapping fields of view captured directly through the fisheye lens and reflected via the mirror — a elegant solution to the traditionally hardware-intensive challenge of wide-angle stereo vision. A key component of this work is his development of a generic radial distortion calibration methodology tailored to this unconventional optical setup, addressing the significant lens distortions inherent to fisheye imaging. Published in 2011, this research represents a meaningful step toward compact, cost-effective panoramic 3D sensing systems with potential applications in robotics, surveillance, and autonomous navigation. While still accumulating citations, the technical sophistication of the approach positions it as a valuable reference for researchers working at the intersection of catadioptric imaging, camera calibration, and omnidirectional computer vision.
