Introduction

We need to write an introduction to our workshop.

Here is the introduction from last OMNIVIS 2011:

" In recent years, panoramic and omnidirectional sensors have been a key technology in the development of visual perception. Omnidirectional and panoramic sensors have found numerous applications in the robotics community, including localization, navigation, visual servoing, and enhanced situational awareness for autonomous or teleoperated systems. One of the foremost communities for advancing omnidirectional sensors is OMNIVIS, also known as the Workshop on Omnidirectional Vision, Camera Networks and Non-Classical Cameras. This workshop will cover a wide range of topics including camera networks, non-classical sensors, camera calibration, structure-from-motion and SLAM. 

The workshop is open to both the computer vision community and the robotics community and hopes to build on the synergies that have developed between the two in the recent years."

I was thinking on adding new sensors such as RGB-D, arrays of this type of sensor could generate a depth panorama. As Joao pointed, lenslet cameras and  spherical mirrors have been used on the computational photography community could also be added. 

I went through the ICCP 13 program to find something related but unfortunately I couldn't find anything related. I need to check previous editions. Maybe we could find someone from that community to be a keynote speaker.

Let know what you think.
