Automatic Chessboard Detection for Intrinsic and Extrinsic Camera Parameter Calibration
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are increasing applications that require precise calibration of cameras to perform accurate measurements on objects located within images, and an automatic algorithm would reduce this time consuming calibration procedure. The method proposed in this article uses a pattern similar to that of a chess board, which is found automatically in each image, when no information regarding the number of rows or columns is supplied to aid its detection. This is carried out by means of a combined analysis of two Hough transforms, image corners and invariant properties of the perspective transformation. Comparative analysis with more commonly used algorithms demonstrate the viability of the algorithm proposed, as a valuable tool for camera calibration.

Reflectance Intensity Assisted Automatic and Accurate Extrinsic Calibration of 3D LiDAR and Panoramic Camera Using a Printed Chessboard
This paper presents a novel method for fully automatic and convenient extrinsic calibration of a 3D LiDAR and a panoramic camera with a normally printed chessboard. The proposed method is based on the 3D corner estimation of the chessboard from the sparse point cloud generated by one frame scan of the LiDAR. To estimate the corners, we formulate a full-scale model of the chessboard and fit it t...
متن کاملNovel Patterns and Methods for Zooming Camera Calibration
Camera calibration is a necessary step in order to develop applications that need to establish a relationship between image pixels and real world points. The goal of camera calibration is to estimate the extrinsic and intrinsic camera parameters. Usually, for non-zooming cameras, the calibration is carried out by using a grid pattern of known dimensions (e.g., a chessboard). However, for camera...
متن کاملSurveillance Camera Autocalibration based on Pedestrian Height Distributions
We propose a new framework for automatic surveillance camera calibration by observing videos of pedestrians walking through the scene. Unlike existing methods that require accurate pedestrian detection and tracking, our method takes noisy foreground masks as input and automatically estimates the necessary intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters using prior knowledge about the distribution of ...
متن کاملA Feature Detection Algorithm for Autonomous Camera Calibration
This paper presents an adaptive and robust algorithm for automatic corner detection. Ordinary camera calibration methods require that a set of feature points – usually, corner points of a chessboard type of pattern – be presented to the camera in a controlled manner. On the other hand, the proposed approach automatically locates the feature points even in the presence of cluttered background, c...
متن کاملSelf-calibration System for the Orientation of a Vehicle Camera
The process of calibration is a prerequisite for each computer vision system. Calibration involves calculating both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera. While intrinsic parameters (focal length, principal point, etc.) are usually fixed, extrinsic ones (position and angles of the camera) have to be determined when the camera moves in relation to world coordinates. The calibration of...
