Omnivision links

 
I used the following links and papers for my Master's Thesis "Methods for Range Estimation and Situation Recognition using an Omnidirectional Vision System for Mobile Robots - Symmetry as a Natural Feature" (University of Bielefeld, May - November 2001). If anyone disagrees with finding his link or his paper on this site, please mail. I will immediately remove it from the list.
