omnidirectional camera

Surrounding-view qualification

Record the evidence and terminology used to classify the camera's surrounding coverage.

1. What horizontal and vertical coverage does the declared omnidirectional mode provide? measurement
2. Does this entry include sequential rotating panoramic cameras, or require surrounding capture within a coordinated interval? boundary

Blind-region accounting

Represent coverage gaps caused by the optical arrangement, camera body and installation.

1. Which directions are missing, masked or obstructed in the current capture and mounting configuration? measurement
2. How can an agent distinguish optically captured regions from filled or synthesised regions in the output? action

Channel coverage map

Associate each imaging channel with its optical path and covered directions.

1. Which lens, mirror and sensor arrangement supplies each region of the surrounding view? definition
2. Where do adjacent optical channels overlap, and how much overlap is available in the selected mode? measurement

Parallax-sensitive regions

Identify where separated viewpoints affect correspondence or interpretation.

1. What effective viewpoint model and inter-channel geometry are supported by the camera's calibration? provenance
2. At what scene distances and directions does the intended task encounter unacceptable overlap misalignment? measurement
3. Does a stereoscopic mode provide documented paired viewpoints, or only a monoscopic surrounding image? boundary

Surrounding exposure timing

Record temporal alignment and the meaning of timestamps for surrounding capture.

1. What are the measured exposure-time offsets and readout durations across contributing channels? measurement
2. Does an output timestamp identify exposure start, midpoint, completion or a processing event? definition
3. Which capture modes can meet the task's tolerance for moving-object discontinuities? action

Direction-dependent quality

Describe quality by viewing region rather than relying only on total output pixel count.

1. What angular sampling density and resolved detail are available near optical centres, lens edges and seams? measurement
2. How are exposure and colour coordinated when different directions face substantially different illumination? definition
3. What observable defects require marking a direction or channel as degraded? action

Configuration-specific calibration

Bind calibration evidence to the lenses, channels and operating settings for which it was established.

1. Which calibration profile applies to the current channel arrangement, resolution and optical accessories? provenance
2. What verification procedure and error tolerance establish that this calibration remains usable? measurement
3. Which physical or configuration changes require calibration verification or replacement? action

Interpretable surrounding output

Record how processing produces the output and how an agent recovers its directional meaning.

1. Is surrounding-view assembly performed onboard or externally, and which software and profile produce the result? provenance
2. What projection, axis conventions and orientation metadata map output coordinates to camera-relative directions? definition
3. Can an agent retrieve original channels and identify blending, seam movement or content synthesis when checking an apparent object? action

Coverage-preserving installation

Assess installation and optical-surface condition against the required viewing region.

1. How do the mount, cables, protective housing and nearby structures change the required directional coverage? measurement
2. Which inspection and cleaning procedures apply to the lenses or mirrors without compromising their optical condition? action
3. Which manufacturer limits and applicable standards govern the intended mounting and operating environment? provenance

Complete capture health

Determine whether recording remains complete and usable throughout the requested interval.

1. What power, storage throughput and thermal limits apply when all required channels and processing functions are active? measurement
2. How does the device report a failed channel, dropped frames, lost synchronisation or interrupted stitching? definition
3. When a contributing channel becomes unavailable, should the agent stop capture, continue with a coverage warning or change modes? action
