A Multi-view Camera Model for Line-Scan Cameras with Telecentric Lenses

Abstract We propose a novel multi-view camera model for line-scan cameras with telecentric lenses. The supports an arbitrary number of and assumes linear relative motion constant velocity between the object. distinguish two configurations. In first configuration, all move independent vectors. second are mounted rigidly respect to each other therefore share common vector. can lens distortions by supporting positions line sensor optical axis. algorithm calibrate setup. To facilitate 3D reconstruction, we prove that image pair acquired always be rectified epipolar standard in contrast entocentric lenses, which this is possible only under very restricted conditions. rectification allows stereo used calculate disparity images. efficient compute coordinates from these disparities. Experiments on real images show validity proposed model.
