Omnidirectional Camera Models
Achieve accurate calibration across the full field of view with MetriCal's comprehensive support for fisheye, equirectangular, and spherical camera models. Our advanced algorithms handle the complex distortion patterns of ultra-wide lenses that traditional pinhole camera models cannot represent, supporting field of views from 180° fisheye lenses to full 360° spherical cameras. Whether you're working with automotive surround-view systems, security panoramic cameras, or VR/AR capture rigs, MetriCal's omnidirectional models ensure accurate pixel-to-ray mappings across the entire image, eliminating blind spots and distortion artifacts that plague conventional calibration approaches.

Multi-Sensor Integration with Extreme FOV
Seamlessly integrate your wide FOV and spherical cameras with LiDAR, IMUs, and conventional cameras through precise extrinsic calibration that handles overlapping fields of view and complex spatial relationships. MetriCal automatically computes accurate spatial transformations between your panoramic cameras and other sensors, enabling robust sensor fusion even when fields of view span the entire sphere around your platform. This capability is essential for autonomous vehicles with surround-view camera systems, robotics platforms requiring 360-degree awareness, or surveillance systems that need to correlate wide-angle visual data with precise LiDAR measurements.
Production-Ready Wide FOV Workflows
Deploy calibrated wide FOV camera systems at scale with MetriCal's enterprise-grade automation designed for the unique challenges of omnidirectional imaging. The system generates specialized rectification maps and projection models optimized for your specific lens and application requirements, whether you need undistorted rectilinear outputs for computer vision algorithms or preserve the full spherical field of view for immersive applications. MetriCal's output formats integrate seamlessly with ROS, OpenCV, and custom vision pipelines, ensuring your extreme field of view cameras deliver reliable performance from prototype development through production deployment.
