Planar Catadioptric Stereo: Geometry and Calibration
نویسندگان
چکیده
By using mirror reflections of a scene, stereo images can be captured with a single camera (catadioptric stereo). Single camera stereo provides both geometric and radiometric advantages over traditional two camera stereo. In this paper; we discuss the geometry and calibration of catadioptric stereo with two planar mirrors and show how the relative orientation, the epipolar geometry and the estimation of the focal length are constrained by planar motion. In addition, we have implemented a real-time system which demonstrates the viability of stereo with mirrors as an alternative to traditional two camera stereo.

Catadioptric Stereo with Planar Mirrors: Multiple-View Geometry and Camera Localization
Planar catadioptric stereo (PCS) vision sensors consist of a pinhole camera and two or more planar mirrors. PCS systems have recently received an increasing attention in computer vision and have a promising applicability in robotics, since the use of mirrors allows to obtain a stereo view without the need of exact multi-camera synchronization and stereo calibration. The paper presents a rigorou...

Planar catadioptric stereo vision sensors consist of a pinhole camera and two (or more) planar mirrors. These systems have recently received an increasing attention because, unlike traditional two-camera stereo, they can capture two views of the same scene without the need of exact camera synchronization and stereo calibration. In this paper we explore the original scenario in which a robot man...

By using mirror reflections of a scene, stereo images can be captured with a single camera. Single camera stereo provides both geometric and radiometric advantages over traditional two camera stereo. In this paper, we discuss these advantages and show that the epipolar geometry is restricted to the class of planar motions. In addition we have implemented a real-time system which demonstrates th...
متن کاملNon-parametric Calibration for Catadioptric Stereo
Standard parametric approaches to camera calibration are unable to account for local distortions introduced by the imaging system. Such distortions may be present in catadioptric imaging systems where low precision mirrors are used. A planar grid was used as the calibration target, and by detecting the grid lines, the mapping between the distorted image captured by the camera and an undistorted...
متن کاملCatadioptric Stereo For Robot Localization
Stereo rigs are indispensable in real world 3D localization and reconstruction, yet they are costly and the additional camera adds complexity. Catadioptric systems offer an inexpensive alternative, with the bonus of being taken from the same camera. I explore the design and calibration of such a rig, and begin to evaluate its utility for robot localization.
