This paper presents a model to design bi-aspherical catadioptric lenses with limited image diffraction. A first refractive Cartesian oval surface that does not introduce any spherical aberration is used. When total internal reflection occurs, this surface can also be simultaneously used as a mirror. The reflective characteristics of Cartesian ovals are also well described in this paper. The theoretical work described here can considerably reduce computing time in optical system design. This model is applied to examples of antennae design for visible light communications (VLC).

Omnidirectional and 360º images are becoming widespread in industry and in consumer society, causing omnidirectional computer vision to gain attention. Their wide field of view allows the gathering of a great amount of information about the environment from only an image. However, the distortion of these images requires the development of specific algorithms for their treatment and interpretation.
