Abstract :
Non conventional imaging sensors have been intensively investigate in recent works. Research is conducted to design devices capable to provide panoramic views with no need of mozaicing process. These devices combine optical lenses and/or non planar reflective surface with standard pinhole camera. We present in this paper an analysis of pixels rearranged sensor adapted to distortions induced by mirrors. Particularly, we aim to identify photosites distributions that compensate the non constant resolution for a given reflective surface. Our analysis is applied to a wide set of commonly used reflective surfaces in panoramic vision. Synthetic datas are produced in order to substantiate the geometric properties since such sensors do not exist yet.
