Camera Calibration for Underwater Applications: Effects of Object Position on the 3d Accuracy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of object position in the working volume on the accuracy of 3D reconstruction, using four different camera calibration approaches: 1) the classical DLT, 2) the nonlinear DLT, 3) the 2D plate and 4) the wand calibration. The DVideo kinematic analysis system was used for underwater data acquisition. The system consisted of two gen-locked Basler cameras (100 Hz) enclosed in housings. A dynamic rigid bar test (acquisition volume 4.511.5 m) was used to obtain the accuracy of the 3D reconstruction. Larger errors were found using the classical and nonlinear DLT methods. Furthermore, these approaches were affected by the rigid body position in the working volume. In conclusion, 2D plate and wand calibration methods provided more accurate results and were not affected by object position in the volume.

متن کاملAccuracy Improvement in Camera Calibration
Camera calibration is a necessary and critical step in 3D object analysis. The accuracy of calibration results will affect the object’s position in world coordinates, especially for 3D object tracking. In this paper, we present a new camera calibration approach, and discuss its accuracy. We use 3D marks instead of 2D marks for calibration. Our experimental results show that our approach has the...

Calibration of a camera system is essential to ensure that image measurements result in accurate estimates of locations and dimensions within the object space. In the underwater environment, the calibration must implicitly or explicitly model and compensate for the refractive effects of waterproof housings and the water medium. This paper reviews the different approaches to the calibration of u...
