Geometry of Vanishing Points and its Application to External Calibration and Realtime Pose Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
Vanishing points of an image contain important information for camera calibration. Various calibration techniques have been introduced using the properties of vanishing points to find intrinsic and extrinsic calibration parameters. This paper revisits the vanishing points geometry and suggests a simple extrinsic parameter estimation algorithm which uses a single rectangle. The comparison with the Camera Calibration Toolbox for Matlab shows that the proposed algorithm is highly competitive. The suggested technique is also applied to a realtime pose estimation for an unmanned air vehicle’s navigation in an urban environment. We present a realtime vanishing point extraction algorithm and a pose estimation procedure. The experimental result on a real flight video clip is presented.

High-precision calibration approaches to robot vision systems
Motivated by the practical issues in applying the vision systems to the industrial robot vision applications, the dissertation has made great efforts on camera calibration, camera recalibration, vision systems calibration and pose estimation. Firstly, the calibration methods from Tsai are analyzed and improved by solving the degenerate and extent situations. Since the image origin is not calibr...
متن کاملVanishing points and lorries1)
In this paper, lorries in motorway scenes and their use in vanishing point estimation is studied. Lorries naturally arise in motorway scenes and provide a powerful way to compute three orthogonal vanishing points. Lorries are therefore so interesting, because features, e.g. blob centroid, on usual vehicles do only provide one vanishing point in traffic direction. Also the background of motorway...

متن کاملA New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملCamera Pose Estimation Using First-Order Curve Differential Geometry
This paper considers and solves the problem of estimating camera pose given a pair of point-tangent correspondences between the 3D scene and the projected image. The problem arises when considering curve geometry as the basis of forming correspondences, computation of structure and calibration, which in its simplest form is a point augmented with the curve tangent. We show that while the standa...
