Most of the effort in visual servoing are devoted to points, only few works have investigated the use of lines in visual servoing with traditional cameras and none has explored the case of omnidirectional cameras. First a generic interaction matrix for the projection of 3D straight lines is derived from the projection model of the entire class of central catadioptric cameras. Then an image-based control law is designed and validated through simulation results %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2004_omnivis_mezouar.pdf %8 May %D 2004
