Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling a ray bundle with a free-form reflector
TL;DR: A new technique for finding approximate solutions to the problem of controlling a single ray bundle with a single reflector is introduced and applied to the design of a driver-side mirror for an automobile that has no blind spot and minimal distortion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing a mirror to realize a given projection.
TL;DR: In this article, a design technique for realizing given projections as catadioptric sensors is presented, where a given transformation from the image plane to an object surface is shown to determine a vector field that is normal to the surface in the case where the vector field is a gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blind-spot problem for motor vehicles
TL;DR: This model consists of a coupled pair of partial differential equations that do not have a common solution and a best mean-square-error functional is used to find approximate solutions using nonlinear optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing coupled free-form surfaces.
TL;DR: This work presents a method for the coupled design of two free-form reflective surfaces that will have a prescribed distortion and makes use of the exterior differential systems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Direct methods for freeform surface design
TL;DR: This work considers the problem of writing down equations to model a single surface (mirror or lens) to completely control a single bundle of rays, and shows how to compute the shape of a driver-side mirror that has no blind-spot or distortion.
