Panomorph
Encyclopedia
Panomorph is a particular type of panoramic lens.
Two important parameters for the Panomorph lens are the amount and location of the resolution. These parameters, introduced at the optical design stage, allow the Panomorph lens to provide a higher resolution in a defined zone than any other standard panoramic imager. By comparison, a fisheye lens
on a standard NTSC camera (i.e. using the accepted television format in North America and Japan) requires up to six times more pixels on its sensor to produce the same resolution.

Fisheye lens
In photography, a fisheye lens is a wide-angle lens that takes in a broad, panoramic and hemispherical image. Originally developed for use in meteorology to study cloud formation and called "whole-sky lenses", fisheye lenses quickly became popular in general photography for their unique, distorted...
