Around-View Monitoering (AVM) system that displays images around the vehicle in real time in order
to assist driver's safe driving is being studied. In order to acquire images around the vehicle, a method of
stitching images obtained from a plurality of cameras is generally used. When multiple cameras are used,
the load on the hardware and software side increases. In this paper, we propose an imaging system that
can obtain a wide angle of view using a single camera to compensate for these drawbacks. The proposed
imaging system is a catadioptric imaging system using a hyperbolic cylindrical reflector with a camera. It
is possible to acquire an image at a single view point in which the viewpoint of the image is fixed by
designing the reflector in hyperbola form. If a hyperbolic cylindrical reflector is used, severe distortion is
seen in the image. In order to get rid of the distortion, a geometric optics model of the image system was
constructed, and an algorithm for reconstructing the image with the bird's-eye image through the optical
tracking process was designed and tested.
