The goal of this project was to create a wide-angle camera using four Edimax
IC-1000 Ethernet cameras and an Edimax broadband router. Specifically, an
Edimax BR6104K was reprogrammed to take images from the four ethernet cameras
and create a panoramic image which it could output on its WAN port. The
router, after reprogramming, is controlled the same way as a single camera, so
the set of utilities present to control cameras should still work for the
wide-angle camera. The panorama gets constructed within the router through
a
simple lookup table, where pixels in a cylindrically projected panorama have
their colors selected based on color information in the four separate images.
