Single-chart self-calibration method of catadioptric omnibearing camera mirror plane pose

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-chart self-calibration method of a catadioptric omnibearing camera mirror plane pose, comprising the following steps: firstly, calculating to obtain two candidate poses by using an ellipse fit by image points on the outer edge of the mirror plane in a collected image; respectively generating two groups of predicted formed images of the edge of a perspective camera by the two candidate poses; and comparing the two groups of predicted formed images with a practical lens formed image, wherein a candidate pose corresponding to the predicated formed image with small difference is a practical mirror plane pose, and necessary distance between a camera projection center and a practical lens edge in the calibration process is obtained by using an optimized search method. By using the method, the deficiency of the existing calibration method is overcome; under the condition that the mirror plane parameter and the perspective camera parameter are known, a rotary matrix and a translation vector between a reflection mirror surface and the perspective camera can be estimated only by one self-shooting image of the catadioptric omnibearing camera without other calibration objects. The calibration method has the characteristics of strong anti-interference performance and higher precision and is simple to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a parameter calibration method of an omnidirectional camera in the field of computer vision. Specifically, it is a method to obtain the pose parameters such as the rotation matrix and translation vector between the reflective mirror and the perspective camera in the catadioptric omnidirectional camera. Background technique [0002] Catadioptric omnidirectional cameras that can cover a 360-degree field of view in the horizontal direction make up for the shortcomings of traditional cameras with limited fields of view, and have been widely used in mobile robot navigation, video conferencing, distance education, video surveillance, and scene reconstruction. A catadioptric omnidirectional camera generally consists of an ordinary perspective camera and a reflective mirror. Their common feature is that the incident light from the object is first reflected by the mirror and then enters the perspective camera. [0003] The parameters ...
