چکیده

The calibration of cameras from external orientation information and image processing is addressed in this paper. We will show that in the case of known rotation the calibration of rotating cameras is linear even in the case of fully varying parameters. For freely moving cameras the calibration problem is also linear but underdetermined for fully varying internal parameters. We show one possible set of contraints to reach a fully determined calibration problem. Furthermore we show that these linear calibration techniques tend to fit to noise for some of the intrinsics. To avoid this fit to noise we introduce a statistical calibration technique which uses the robust components of linear calibration and prior knowledge about cameras. This statistical calibration is fully determined even for freely moving cameras.

A Novel Stratified Self-calibration Method of Camera Based on Rotation Movement

This paper proposes a novel stratified selfcalibration method of camera based on rotation movement. The proposed method firstly captures more than three images of the same scene in the case of constant internal parameters by panning and rotating the camera with small relative rotation angles among the captured images. After feature extraction and matching of captured images, the pixel coordinat...

A new camera calibration method from vanishing points in a vision system

The problem of finding intrinsic parameters of a camera is extremely important for practical applications. In this paper, we present an approach for automatic estimation of intrinsic parameters from images by using the vanishing points in orthogonal directions. Firstly, image lines are extracted and clustered into groups corresponding to three dominant vanishing points. Secondly, the intrinsic ...

Robust Estimation of a Multi-camera System Motion Parameters Using Inter-camera Mounting Parameters

Accurate Indoor 3D models could be a valuable asset for many applications such as building reconstruction, rescue operations, and Building Information Management (BIM). Through image processing, 3D models can be generated from high quality images captured by off-the-shelf digital cameras. To acquire redundant data and produce real scale models, a multi-camera system can be used. This paper pres...

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...

Geometrically Optimized PTZ Camera Calibration From Two Images

We make three main contributions to autocalibration under pure rotation and zooming, with particular focus on PTZ cameras. First, for the general camera rotation, we provide a novel solution that yields five intrinsic parameters from only two images, by directly decomposing the infinite homography using a series of Givens rotations. Second, we present thorough analysis of degenerate cases of pu...
