ViRoom - Low Cost Synchronized Multicamera System and Its Self-calibration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a multicamera Visual Room (ViRoom). It is constructed from low-cost digital cameras and standard computers running on Linux. Software based synchronized image capture is introduced. A fully automatic self-calibration method for multiple cameras and without any known calibration object is proposed and verified by 3D reconstruction experiments. This handy calibration allows an easy reconfiguration of the setup. Aside from the computers which are usually already available, such a synchronized multicamera setup with five or six cameras costs less than 1000 USD.

متن کاملA Convenient Multicamera Self-Calibration for Virtual Environments
Virtual immersive environments or telepresence setups often consist of multiple cameras that have to be calibrated. We present a convenient method for doing this. The minimum is three cameras, but there is no upper limit. The method is fully automatic and a freely moving bright spot is the only calibration object. A set of virtual 3D points is made by waving the bright spot through the working ...
متن کاملA Stream Cipher Based on Chaotic Permutations
In this paper we introduce a word-based stream cipher consisting of a chaotic part operating as a chaotic permutation and a linear part, both of which designed on a finite field. We will show that this system can operate in both synchronized and self-synchronized modes. More specifically, we show that in the self-synchronized mode the stream cipher has a receiver operating as an unknown input o...
متن کاملMulti-camera VSLAM: from former information losses to self-calibration
Visual SLAM is, in recent years, a very active research area, the result of activities in the convergence of the robotics and computer vision communities. We present an overview of techniques, from classical filtering to bundle adjustment solutions, for both monocular and stereo (or multicamera) systems, and emphasize that classical SLAM solutions have been discarding precious sensory informati...
متن کاملA Cost-effective Multiple Camera Vision System using FireWire Cameras and Software Synchronization
In this paper, we describe a cost-effective Multiple-Camera Vision system using low cost simple FireWire web cameras. The FireWire cameras, like other FireWire devices operate on the high speed FireWire bus. Current supported bandwidth is 400 Mbps. Right from its introduction, the FireWire (synonymously known as IEEE 1394) bus interface specification has proved its capabilities and has been sup...
