Pattern Feature Detection for Camera Calibration Using Circular Sample
نویسندگان
چکیده
Camera calibration is a process to find camera parameters. Camera parameter consists of intrinsic and extrinsic configuration and it is important to deal with the three-dimensional (3-D) geometry of the cameras and 3-D scene. However, camera calibration is quite annoying process when the number of cameras and images increase because it is operated by hand to indicate exact points. In order to eliminate the inconvenience of a manual manipulation, we propose a new pattern feature detection algorithm. The proposed method employs the Harris corner detector to find the candidate for the pattern feature points in images. Among them, we extract valid pattern feature points by using a circular sample. Test results show that this algorithm can provide reasonable camera parameters compared to camera parameters using the Matlab calibration toolbox by hand but eliminated a burden of manual operation.

Which pattern? Biasing aspects of planar calibration patterns and detection methods
This paper provides a comparative study on the use of planar patterns in the generation of control points for camera calibration. This is an important but often neglected aspect in camera calibration. Two popular checkerboard and circular dot patterns are each examined with two detection strategies for invariance to the potential bias from projective transformations and nonlinear distortions. I...
متن کاملA Feature Detection Algorithm for Autonomous Camera Calibration
This paper presents an adaptive and robust algorithm for automatic corner detection. Ordinary camera calibration methods require that a set of feature points – usually, corner points of a chessboard type of pattern – be presented to the camera in a controlled manner. On the other hand, the proposed approach automatically locates the feature points even in the presence of cluttered background, c...
متن کاملHomography from Conic Intersection: Camera Calibration based on Arbitrary Circular Patterns
For the camera calibration, point correspondence data between 3D and 2D points widely spreading over the image plane is necessary to get a precise result. However, in the case of wide observing area, it is impractical to use a huge calibration object that covers the camera view. This paper presents a refined calibration method using circular patterns. We already proposed a circular pattern base...
متن کاملComparison of Calibration Algorithms for a Low-Resolution, Wide Angle, 3D Camera
This Master thesis deals with the calibration of the optics of a novel time-of-flight range camera intended for use in automotive applications. The camera is different from standard cameras in that it can yield both regular intensity images and depth maps, but also in that its resolution is less than a tenth of a standard camera. The thesis treats the topics of feature detection in low resoluti...

Camera calibration is an essential step for 3D object recognition and reconstruction. In this work, we propose a novel method for the automatic localization of control points and present a simple and yet robust online camera calibration system. First a planar calibration pattern with circular control points is designed. These points are then automatically segmented and localized by integrating ...
