On the Calibration of Non Single Viewpoint Catadioptric Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is proposed for calibrating Catadioptric Omnidirectional Vision Systems. This method, similarly to classic camera calibration, makes use of a set of fiducial points to find the parameters of the geometric image formation model. The method makes no particular assumption regarding the shape of the mirror or its position with respect to the camera. Given the camera intrinsic parameters and the mirror profile, the mirror pose is computed using the projection of the mirror border and, eventually, the extrinsic parameters are computed by minimizing distance between fiducial points and back-projected images.

Geometric Construction of the Caustic Surface of Catadioptric Non Central Sensors
Most of the catadioptric cameras rely on the single viewpoint constraint that is hardly fulfilled. There exists many works on non single viewpoint catadioptric sensors satisfying specific resolutions. In such configurations, the computation of the caustic curve becomes essential. Existing solutions are unfortunately too specific to a class of curves and need heavy computation load. This paper p...
متن کاملCentral Catadioptric Line Detection
Central catadioptric sensors enable to acquire panoramic images on a 360 degree field of view while preserving a single viewpoint. These advantages account for the growing use of these sensors in applications such as surveillance, navigation or modelling. However, the deformations of the image do not allow to apply classical perspective image algorithms or operators. Typically, straight line de...
متن کاملCaustics of Catadioptric Cameras
Conventional vision systems and algorithms assume the camera to have a single viewpoint. However, sensors need not always maintain a single viewpoint. For instance, an incorrectly aligned system could cause non-single viewpoints. Also, systems could be designed to specifically deviate from a single viewpoint to trade-off image characteristics such as resolution and field of view. In these cases...
متن کاملParacatadioptric Camera Calibration Using Lines
Paracatadioptric sensors combine a parabolic shaped mirror and a camera inducing an orthographic projection. Such a configuration provides a wide field of view while keeping a single effective viewpoint. Previous work in central catadioptric sensors proved that a line projects into a conic curve and that three line images are enough to calibrate the system. However the estimation of the conic c...
متن کاملAuto-Calibration and 3D Reconstruction with Non-Central Catadioptric Sensors using Polarization Imaging
Non-central catadioptric sensors became a mandatory effective tool in a broad range of applications and hence robust modeling and calibration for such sensors are required. One simple and efficient method is to model the catadioptric sensor by its catacaustics. Calibrating the sensor is equivalent to computing its catacaustics which fully geometrically describe the sensor. In this work, we cali...
