Self-calibration of an Uncalibrated Stereo Rig from One Unknown Motion

چکیده
We address in this paper the problem of self-calibration and metric reconstruction (up to a scale) from one unknown motion of an uncalibrated stereo rig. The epipolar constraint is first formulated for two uncalibrated images. The problem then becomes one of estimating unknowns such that the discrepancy from the epipolar constraint, in terms of sum of squared distances between points and their corresponding epipolar lines, is minimized. Redundancy of the information contained in a sequence of stereo images makes this method more robust than using a sequence of monocular images. Real data have been used to test the proposed method, and the results obtained are quite good. We also show experimentally that it is very difficult to estimate precisely the coordinates of the principal points of cameras. A variation of as high as several dozen pixels in the principal point coordinates does not affect significantly the 3-D reconstruction. A theoretical analysis is provided in this paper to explain this phenomenon.

متن کاملPlenoptic Modeling of 3D Scenes with a Sensor-augmented Multi-Camera Rig
We propose a system for robust modeling and visualisation of complex outdoor scenes from multi-camera image sequences and additional sensor information. A camera rig with one or more fire-wire cameras is used in conjunction with a 3-axis rotation sensor to robustly obtain a calibration of the scene with an uncalibrated structure from motion approach. Dense depth maps are estimated with multi-vi...
متن کاملA self-calibration method for a multi stereo-rig system based on robust 3D motion estimation
This paper discusses self-calibration method for a multi stereo-rig passive face recognition system with overlapping views of individual cameras. Two cameras fixed inside a rig can be easily calibrated in a factory environment so each rig will be considered individually calibrated. It is incredibly important to estimate relative positions and orientations of the stereo rigs with respect to each...
متن کاملRigid and Articulated Motion Seen with an Uncalibrated Stereo Rig
This paper establishes a link between uncalibrated stereo vision and the motion of rigid and articulated bodies. The variation in the projective reconstruction of a dynamic scene over time allows an uncalibrated stereo rig to be used as a faithful motion capturing device. We introduce an original theoretical framework – projective kinematics – which allows rigid and articulated motion to be rep...
