The application is a method for calibrating the center of a linear in unit sphere model projection
hyperboloid camera, characterized by using only one image containing two straight line images, five internal parameters of the camera are recovered. First, the pixel coordinates of the edge points of the two straight line images and the mirror profile image are extracted from one image respectively, and the equations of the two straight line images and the mirror profile image are obtained by using the least square method. On the basis of obtaining the equations of the two straight line images and the mirror profile image, the common
vanishing point of each straight line image and the mirror profile image is obtained by solving the generalized eigenvector, and the
vanishing line of the mirror profile image corresponding to the
support plane is recovered by connecting the two common vanishing points. According to the polar point-polar line relationship, the polar point of the mirror profile image corresponding to the
vanishing line is recovered, that is, the
principal point. Because the two straight line images and the mirror profile image correspond to three different support planes, the
vanishing line of the
support plane corresponding to the two straight line images can be recovered by using the
principal point. The vanishing line is associated with the corresponding straight line image, and the constraints of three pairs of independent circular ring point images are recovered. The image of the absolute quadratic curve is Cholesky decomposed and inversely solved, and the camera internal parameter matrix is uniquely determined.
