Practical calibrations for a real-time digital omnidirectional camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
Newly available high quality inexpensive digital 1394 cameras enable cheap and easy construction of omnidirectional cameras. We address several important issues for creating real-time panoramas, including user-assisted focusing, devignetting, and computer controlled brightness, contrast, and white balance. We demonstrate remarkable improvements in panoramic image quality using methods requiring very little CPU usage.

Estimation of omnidirectional camera model from epipolar geometry
We generalize the method of simultaneous linear estimation of multiple view geometry and lens distortion, introduced by Fitzgibbon at CVPR 2001 [6], to an omnidirectional (angle of view larger than 180) camera. The perspective camera is replaced by a linear camera with a spherical retina and a non-linear mapping of the sphere into the image plane. Unlike the previous distortion-based models, th...
متن کاملPractical ways to calculate camera lens distortion for real-time camera calibration
In this paper, we address practical methods for calculating camera lens distortion for real-time applications. Although the lens distortion problem can be easily ignored for constant-parameter lenses, it becomes important in the "eld of real-time camera calibrations, particularly for zoom lenses. Tsai's camera calibration method, which is adopted in this paper for real-time application, consist...
متن کاملAn accurate and robust visual-compass algorithm for robot-mounted omnidirectional cameras
Due to their wide field of view, omnidirectional cameras are becoming ubiquitous inmanymobile robotic applications. A challenging problemconsists of using these sensors,mounted onmobile robotic platforms, as visual compasses (VCs) to provide an estimate of the rotational motion of the camera/robot from the omnidirectional video stream. Existing VC algorithms suffer from some practical limitatio...
متن کاملReal Time Implementation of a License Plate Location Recognition System Based on Adaptive Morphology
License plate recognition (LPR) by using morphology has the advantage of resistance to brightness changes; high speed processing, and low complexity. However these approaches are sensitive to the distance of the plate from the camera and imaging angle. Various assumptions reported in other works might be unrealistic and cause major problems in practical experiences. In this paper we considered ...
متن کاملMultivariate control charts for monitoring internal camera parameters in digital photogrammetry for LSDM (Large-Scale Dimensional Metrology) applications
Industrial non‐contact dimensional measurements using photogrammetry rely critically upon stability in time of camera calibration. This is particularly relevant for multi‐camera systems employed for continuous and/or long term monitoring of some dimensional process, e.g. dimensional checks of the same manufactured component as it comes off the production line. In most of these cases, camera cal...
