Self-Calibration of a Rotating Camera with Varying Intrinsic Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for self-calibration of a camera which is free to rotate and change its intrinsic parameters, but which cannot translate. The method is based on the so-called infinite homography constraint which leads to a non-linear minimisation routine to find the unknown camera intrinsics over an extended sequence of images. We give experimental results using real image sequences for which ground truth data was available.

Camera Calibration with Known Rotation
We address the problem of using external rotation information with uncalibrated video sequences. The main problem addressed is, what is the benefit of the orientation information for camera calibration? It is shown that in case of a rotating camera the camera calibration problem is linear even in the case that all intrinsic parameters vary. For arbitrarily moving cameras the calibration problem...
متن کاملA Survey of Camera Self-Calibration
This paper surveys the developments of the last 10 years in the area of camera self-calibration. In order to solve this problem, researches have used the camera intrinsic constraints separately and in conjunction with the camera motion constraints or the scene constraints. Most of the self-calibration algorithms are concerned with unknown but constant intrinsic camera parameters. Recently, came...
متن کاملThe Role of Self-Calibration in Euclidean Reconstruction from Two Rotating and Zooming Cameras
Reconstructing the scene from image sequences captured by moving cameras with varying intrinsic parameters is one of the major achievements of computer vision research in recent years. However, there remain gaps in the knowledge of what is reliably recoverable when the camera motion is constrained to move in particular ways. This paper considers the special case of multiple cameras whose optic ...
متن کاملSelf - calibration of an A ne Camera from Multiple
A key limitation of all existing algorithms for shape and motion from image sequences under orthographic, weak perspective and para-perspective projection is that they require the calibration parameters of the camera. We present in this paper a new approach that allows the shape and motion to be computed from image sequences without having to know the calibration parameters. This approach is de...
متن کاملSelf-calibration with Partially Known Rotations
Self-calibration methods allow estimating the intrinsic camera parameters without using a known calibration object. However, such methods are very sensitive to noise, even in the simple special case of a purely rotating camera. Suitable pan-tilt-units can be used to perform pure camera rotations. In this case, we can get partial knowledge of the rotations, e.g. by rotating twice about the same ...
