A catadioptric sensor, also known as a combined lens-mirror system (CLMS), is a visual sensor that contains mirror (catoptrics) and lenses (dioptrics). The word catadioptric originally appears in telescope design, but the term catadioptric sensor has come to refer to panoramic sensors created by pointed a camera at a curved mirror.
