Abstract

This invention discloses an event camera calibration method based on wavelet transform, which can quickly extract feature points and improve calibration accuracy and speed. The target, displayed as a striped pattern on an LCD screen, serves as the two-dimensional calibration target, showing both horizontal and vertical stripe images. The screen flashes at a certain frequency to trigger events. During calibration, the event camera acquires and captures horizontal and vertical stripe event stream data. An appropriate time window is selected, and the event stream is accumulated into two-dimensional event frames, which are then converted into image information. Wavelet transform is then used to calculate the wrap-around phase map in both directions. The feature points are located at the 2π phase value between the horizontal and vertical wrap-around phases, thus obtaining the pixel coordinates of the feature points. This invention uses image transformation technology to extract the phase map, eliminating reliance on image intensity for feature point detection and achieving accurate feature point extraction.
