Abstract

The invention relates to a full automatic calibration method of a master-slave camera chain in the technical field of image processing. In the invention, an image which is automatically obtained in the process of rotating a dynamic camera is spliced into a mosaic image and then the characteristic points of the image and the image of a master camera are automatically extracted and matched, thereby obtaining a calibration result between the coordinates of the pixel of the image of a static camera and the control parameter of the dynamic camera and realizing the full automatic calibration of the master-slave camera chain. The range of the visual field of the dynamic camera is represented by the mosaic spliced image, the relationship between two different imaging planes is estimated by utilizing an SURF characteristic point, only the motion trace of the dynamic camera needs to be established beforehand, the master-slave camera chain can be automatically calibrated, the automatic calibration of the master-slave camera chain can be realized under the condition that the calibration accuracy keeps better (the error rate is 3 to 5 percent), the manpower and the time are saved, and the complexity in the calibration process is lowered.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method in the technical field of image processing, in particular to a fully automatic calibration method for a master-slave camera system. Background technique

[0002] At present, public places are generally equipped with camera monitoring systems, and a large number of cameras are installed for large coverage areas. With the development of surveillance systems, there is an increasing demand for high-resolution surveillance images. The master-slave camera monitoring system is a solution to this problem. In such a system, one (or more) fixed cameras act as a leader, leading one (or more) dynamic (PTZ) cameras to focus on objects of interest. In this way, a macro surveillance image of a wide area can be obtained, and a high-resolution image of the target can be obtained. The calibration of the master-slave camera system is the solution to this problem. After the calibrated master-slave camera monitoring system, when the ma...
