Embodiment Construction

[0039] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] The present invention provides a camera self-calibration method based on two vanishing points. The so-called two vanishing points refer to two infinity points in the scene where two sets of orthogonal parallel lines intersect in the projective space. The two projection points of are the two vanishing points (see: Caprile, B., Torre, V., "Using Vanishing Points for Camera Calibration," International Journal of Computer Vision. Papers 4(2), 127-140(1990)). According to the projective geometric properties of orthogonal parallel straight lines, it can be known that the optical center and the line connecting the two vanishing points are perpendicular to each other, that is, the optical center is located on a circle whose diameter is the line connecting the two vanishing points, thus establishing the camera internal parameter constrai...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a camera self-calibration method based on two vanishing points. With two groups of orthogonal parallel lines as self-calibration patterns, four and more sequence images of different viewing points are obtained, a Harris-based sub-pixel angle detection method is used to extract four intersections of self-calibration patterns in each image, and the image coordinates of the two vanishing points are calculated. According to a projection geometry characteristic that a light center is perpendicular to the connection line of the two vanishing points, the constraint equations of camera intrinsic parameters are listed, and the intrinsic parameters such as a image plane main point coordinate (u0, v0) and normalized focal lengths fx and fy are obtained. According to the method, a calibration plate and a calibration block are not needed, the acquisition of camera motion information and the world coordinate information of the self-calibration patterns are not needed, the calibration process is convenient, a shooting requirement is not high, the algorithm is simple and efficient, and large visual field, zoom and remote vision detection applications can be satisfied. The calibration precision is better than the precision of a three-vanishing-point self-calibration method, and the calibration of high precision can be completed by using a low-resolution camera.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a camera self-calibration method based on two vanishing points. Background technique [0002] Camera calibration is the process of solving the camera parameters by determining the mapping relationship between the 3D coordinates of the space point and the 2D coordinates projected onto the image (see: Li Yunxiang. Research on Camera Calibration and 3D Reconstruction Technology [D]. Qingdao University, 2009). Camera calibration is the process of quantitatively recovering 3D data from 2D images in computer vision. It is a necessary and key link to complete 3D reconstruction of images. It is widely used in 3D modeling, navigation, and video surveillance. Whether in image measurement or machine vision applications, the accuracy of camera parameter calibration results and the stability of algorithms directly affect the accuracy of camera work results. Therefore, camera calibration is the premise of doing a good job in the follow-up w...
