Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for jointly calibrating the parameters of a visible light camera and an infrared camera. The method comprises steps of: detecting the edges of a visible light image and an infrared image to obtain a visible light edge image and an infrared edge image; acquiring at least four groups of matched point pairs of the visible light edge image and the infrared edge image by using a scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm; and determining an extrinsic parameter matrix according to the at least four groups of matched point pairs, the intrinsic parameter matrix of the visible light camera, and the intrinsic parameter matrix of the infrared camera. The method and the device may acquire the matched point pairs in the visible light edge image and the infrared edge image without a calibration board and determine the extrinsic parameter matrix without the calibration board so as to reduce the calibration cost of camera parameters. Further, when a focal length of the camera is changed, the extrinsic parameter matrix can be determined without camera position adjustment so that parameter calibration efficiency is increased.
