Omnidirectional Video Acquisition Device (OVAD) 127<br />

Table 1. presents selected camera parameters. Choice of these particular cameras<br />

is justified by small size of cameras together with relatively high resolution,<br />

which stands for quality of captured image. Parameter, which is worth to be considered<br />

is angle of camera horizontal view. Required m<strong>in</strong>imum is 60 degrees,<br />

because all six cameras shall create a possibility to capture 360° of horizontal field<br />

of view. Because of distortion correction, which at most cases means los<strong>in</strong>g some<br />

edge parts of image, horizontal field of view of a s<strong>in</strong>gle camera wider than 60° is<br />

highly recommended.<br />
