Abstract
In this article, the problem of blur in a panoramic image from a catadioptric camera is analyzed through the determination of the virtual image. This determination is done first with an approximative method, and second through the caustic approach. This leads us to a general caustic approach of panoramic image analysis, where equations of virtual images are given. Finally, we give some direct applications of our analysis, such as depth of field (blur) or image resolution.
