Moving Panoramas

The panoramic images are remapped video frames taken with a fisheye lens (Nikon FC-E8)
and a camcorder (Canon MV 850i). Remapping is performed using a modified version of
my software Panorama Tools. For field-of-view angles below 120° we remap to rectilinear projection while
larger angles use cylinder projection. The demo video "High Speed Train" below
exhibits more PanoTools-features
like virtual pan/tilt and/or zoom, both in still and moving images.
