Self-Calibration of a Stereo Vision System for Automotive Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a calibration method for on-board cameras used on the ARGO autonomous vehicle is presented. A number of markers have been placed on the vehicle’s hood, which is framed by the vision system. Thanks to the knowledge of the markers’ position it is possible to compute camera position and orientation with respect to the vehicle. Being based on fast computations, this procedure –of basic importance when the camera head has pan-tilt capabilities– can be performed during autonomous driving, without slowing down normal operations. Keywords—Camera Calibration, Autonomous Vehicle, Real-Time Image Processing

Error Analysis in a Stereo Vision-Based Pedestrian Detection Sensor for Collision Avoidance Applications
This paper presents an analytical study of the depth estimation error of a stereo vision-based pedestrian detection sensor for automotive applications such as pedestrian collision avoidance and/or mitigation. The sensor comprises two synchronized and calibrated low-cost cameras. Pedestrians are detected by combining a 3D clustering method with Support Vector Machine-based (SVM) classification. ...
متن کاملStereo Rig Geometry Determination by Fundamental Matrix Decomposition
Computer vision plays an important role in many automatic applications, such as surface measurement, industrial inspection, reverse engineering and even mobile robot navigation. All these applications might be solved by means of a stereovision system formed by at least two cameras if the geometry of such stereo rig is previously known. So, camera calibration is based on computing the intrinsic ...
