A fisheye lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image. [4] [5]: 145 Fisheye lenses achieve extremely wide angles of view, well beyond any rectilinear lens.
At particularly wide angles, however, the rectilinear perspective will cause objects to appear increasingly stretched and enlarged as they near the edge of the frame. These types of lenses are often used to create forced perspective effects. The most famous example is the Rapid Rectilinear Lens developed by John Henry Dallmeyer in 1866. It ...
Ultra-wide angle lenses come in two varieties: Fisheye lenses with curvilinear barrel distortion, and rectilinear lenses which are designed so that straight lines in the scene will render straight (uncurved) in the photographic image and thus lack the extreme distortion that is characteristic of a fisheye lens. Neither denotes a particular ...
The apparent effect is an image that seems to be mapped around a sphere (or barrel). Fisheye lenses , which take hemispherical views, utilize this type of distortion as a way to map an infinitely wide object plane into a finite image area.
The mood effect of perspective distortion achieved by rectilinear extreme wide-angle lenses is that the resulting image looks grotesque and unsettling, while not looking as unrealistic as curvilinear fisheye lenses which display barrel distortion. The effect is especially noticeable the closer the camera is to the subject, as its amount ...
It is a diagonal fisheye lens. Unlike most fisheye lenses, this lens is designed for digital SLR cameras that do not have a full 36x24mm sensor. [1] This results in a much greater fisheye effect than is possible when a full-frame fisheye lens is used with a smaller sensor. The projection type of this lens is equidistant [2]
Cross-section of Maxwell's fish-eye lens, with blue shading representing increasing refractive index. Maxwell's fish-eye lens is also an example of the generalized Luneburg lens. The fish-eye, which was first fully described by Maxwell in 1854 [5] (and therefore pre-dates Luneburg's solution), has a refractive index varying according to
Hemispherical photograph used to study microclimate of winter roosting habitat at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Mexico.. Hemispherical photography, also known as canopy photography, is a technique to estimate solar radiation and characterize plant canopy geometry using photographs taken looking upward through an extreme wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens (Rich 1990).
