An Automatic Warping Points Extraction Method for Calibration of Wide Angle Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radial or pincushion distortion problem of the wide angle charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is an important issue in the image calibration in case of close-up photography of real scene. We designed the auto-extraction method of the warping points in the calibration algorithm of the image acquired by the wide angle CCD camera. Proposed method extracts the distortion point by the wide angle CCD camera, using the threshold value of the histogram of the horizontal and vertical pixel lines. This processing step can be directly applied to the original image of the wide angle CCD camera output. Proposed method results are compared with hand-worked result image using the two wide angle CCD cameras having different angles (90° and 120°) with the difference value of the result images respectively. Experimental results show that proposed method can allocate the distortion-calibration constant of the wide angle CCD camera regardless of lens type, distortion shape and image type.

An Automatic Calibration Method Based on Feature Point Matching for the Cooperation of Wide-Angle and Pan-tilt-Zoom Cameras
Wide-angle cameras are used to monitor large open areas, but moving objects on the image are often too small to view in detail. However, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras have zooming capabilities that can be used to capture close-up images of a moving object. Therefore, the cooperation of these two types of cameras has been studied extensively in recent years. A calibration method is necessary to ac...

In this study, we present a new calibration method for the cooperation of wide-angle and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. A wide-angle camera enables the surveillance of a large area. However, it may be difficult to perceive the detail of an object. On the other hand, a PTZ camera enables the surveillance of the object detail. However, its view is limited when the camera zooms on a specific object....

متن کاملCorrecting Radial Distortion of Cameras with Wide Angle Lens Using Point Correspondences
Most algorithms in 3-D Computer Vision rely on the pinhole camera model because of its simplicity, whereas video optics, especially wide-angle lens, generates a lot of non-linear distortion. In some applications, for instance in stereo vision systems and robotic systems, this distortion can be critical. Camera calibration consists of finding the mapping between the 3-D space and the camera plan...
