9 results about "Cardinal point" patented technology

In Gaussian optics, the cardinal points consist of three pairs of points located on the optical axis of a rotationally symmetric, focal, optical system. These are the focal points, the principal points, and the nodal points. For ideal systems, the basic imaging properties such as image size, location, and orientation are completely determined by the locations of the cardinal points; in fact only four points are necessary: the focal points and either the principal or nodal points. The only ideal system that has been achieved in practice is the plane mirror, however the cardinal points are widely used to approximate the behavior of real optical systems. Cardinal points provide a way to analytically simplify a system with many components, allowing the imaging characteristics of the system to be approximately determined with simple calculations.

The application provides a high-precision calibration method, device and equipment for mapping camera interior orientation elements and a storage medium. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, using a collimator and an electronic theodolite to independently calibrate the rotary table angle positioning error and the parallel light tube optical axis pointing deviation, respectively, to generate an error correction model and a space angle matrix, and converting the device system error into a known quantity that can be compensated; secondly, using a positive and negative mirror center-finding method to iteratively converge to determine the accurate intersection point of the sight axis and the target surface as the main point initial observation value and the sight axis reference angle, and eliminating the uncertainty of the main point; finally, starting from the reference angle to perform full field scanning and collection, and jointly substituting the corrected angle data, the angle matrix and the main point observation value into the collinearity condition equation for overall adjustment solution, so that the interior orientation elements and the distortion parameters purely reflecting the characteristics of the camera itself are solved under the premise that various system errors have been stripped one by one.

A method and system for thermal drift compensation of a 3D structured light camera

This invention provides a thermal drift compensation method and system for a 3D structured light camera. It uses fixed physical markers within the scene to provide a reference ground truth, monitors and quantifies the scan amplitude contraction and static origin drift caused by galvanometer thermal drift in real time, calculates the deviation between the current wrapped phase and the reference phase, and performs forced phase alignment compensation across the entire field to avoid misjudgment of multi-frequency heterodyne unwrapping order. It dynamically reconstructs the projector intrinsic parameter matrix, uses the scaling factor s and translation vector t to correct the equivalent focal length and principal point coordinates in real time, and uses the calibration plate depth residual for closed-loop iterative optimization. This invention does not rely on a temperature model, effectively eliminates thermal hysteresis, ensures the stability of phase unwrapping and the geometric accuracy of 3D reconstruction across the entire temperature range, and is ready to use upon startup. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional open-loop temperature compensation, and compensates for thermal drift errors in real time through closed-loop feedback, improving the stability and accuracy of 3D reconstruction in the structured light system.
