A Practical Zoom Camera Calibration Technique:

چکیده
Knowing where a person is looking at and understanding the users head gestures provide an effective and safe means to communicate with a robot. This type of human-robot interaction becomes even more effective when the vision system implemented simulates a human vision system enhanced by a pair of zoom cameras. But before zoom cameras can be effectively used, they are beset by a tedious and time-consuming calibration procedure. In this paper, we present a practical zoom camera calibration technique that is simple and can be effectively used not only for enhancing active vision systems but also for many other applications.

A Flexible, Generic Photogrammetric Approach to Zoom Lens Calibration
Compared with prime lenses, zoom lenses have inherent advantages in terms of operational flexibility. Zoom lens camera systems have therefore been extensively adopted in computer vision where precise measurement is not the primary objective. However, the variation of intrinsic camera parameters with respect to zoom lens settings poses a series of calibration challenges that have inhibited wides...
متن کاملNew dynamic zoom calibration technique for a stereo-vision based multi-view 3D modeling system
A new technique is proposed for calibrating a 3D modeling system with variable zoom based on multi-view stereo image analysis. The 3D modeling system uses a stereo camera with variable zoom setting and a turntable for rotating an object. Given an object whose complete 3D model (mesh and texture-map) needs to be generated, the object is placed on the turntable and stereo images of the object are...
متن کاملActive-Camera Calibration Using Weakly-Localized Image Features
This work presents a new approach to the problem of calibrating a zooming camera. Calibration information is necessary for active cameras to perform tasks that require known camera parameters such as stereo reconstruction. Our method for calibrating a zoom camera solves for the parameters of a camera model using a staged global optimization technique. The input is a sequence of images of a know...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Zoom Lens Camera Calibration
Zoom lens camera calibration is an important and difficult problem for two reasons at least. First, the intrinsic parameters of such a camera change over time, it is difficult to calibrate them online. Secondly, the pin-hole model for single lens system can not be applied directly to a zoom lens system. In this paper, we address some aspects of this problem, such as determining principal point ...
متن کاملZoom-dependent Calibration for Consumer Grade-cameras
A significant practical constraint currently applying to the adoption of consumer-grade digital cameras for photogrammetric measurement is the requirement to record images at fixed zoom and focus settings. This is a consequence of the variation of camera calibration parameters, especially principal distance and lens distortion, with changing zoom and focus. This paper describes a zoomdependent ...
