In various examples, epipolar constraint-based cross-camera calibration validation is disclosed. For a pair of cameras that have partially overlapping fields of view, a shared region of their overlapping fields of view may be extracted and used as the basis to perform an epipolar constraint-guided feature descriptor matching process. A camera calibration metric may be computed based on the degree to which a feature descriptor appearing at a pixel of the first image aligns as expected in the second image with an epipolar line associated with the pixel of the first image, where the epipolar line is computed using extrinsic camera calibration parameters associated with the pair of cameras. Epipolar matching may be performed for a plurality of feature points and an aggregate validation score computed based on measuring the computed deviations for each feature. A sensitivity analysis may be applied to better assess the usefulness of the validation score.

An image-stitching method compensates electronic rolling shutter (ERS) distortion and parallax to produce a composite image. A first and second image from respective sensors are received. An ERS correction mapping is computed at a lower resolution than a parallax correction mapping. A far point and a near point defining an initial epipolar line are identified. A compensated near point is determined from ERS data, and a compensated epipolar line is formed by linear interpolation between the far point and the compensated near point. A one-dimensional search along the compensated epipolar line yields a parallax translation between the images. A warp mapping is determined from the parallax translation and the ERS correction mapping, and applied to blend the images into a composite. The technique decouples ERS estimation from parallax and is suitable for multi-sensor capture devices and post-capture stitching.

A system for producing a depth map can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a candidate depth production module and a depth map production module. The candidate depth production module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) identify, in a first image, an epipolar line associated with a pixel in a second image and (2) sample, from a first image feature set, a set of candidate depths for pixels along the epipolar line. The depth map production module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) determine a similarity measure between a feature, from a second image feature set, and a member of the set and (2) produce, from the second image, the depth map with a depth for the pixel being a depth associated with a member, of the set, having a greatest similarity measure.

This invention relates to a stereo matching method based on smoothing filtering and neighborhood pixel assistance. It incorporates neighboring points of the left and right points to be matched into the matching process, using the distance of the neighboring points from the point to be matched and whether they lie on epipolar lines for differential judgment. The judgment conditions differ for points in different neighborhood locations. On the left and right absolute phase maps, if the absolute phase values ​​of the actual pair of points to be matched differ, the phase matching of neighboring points will perform certain judgment compensation, ensuring that the two points with the highest similarity in absolute phase in a local region are successfully matched, thereby improving matching accuracy.

The application discloses a kind of multi-source data high-precision fusion methods based on deep learning.The step of epipolar line calculation in the application can ensure the consistency of point cloud data in geometry.Epipolar line is the straight line connecting a point in three-dimensional space and its corresponding projection point on the image, therefore, the correct calculation of epipolar line provides accurate geometric constraints for subsequent point cloud processing.The calculation of epipolar line parameters provides directional information for point cloud denoising and smoothing processing.In the denoising process, filtering can be performed along the epipolar line direction, which can more effectively identify and remove outliers while retaining useful structural information.By pre-computing epipolar lines, the computational load in subsequent processing steps can be reduced.In the point cloud registration and fusion process, epipolar line information can be used to quickly locate corresponding points, thereby speeding up the convergence speed of the algorithm.Provide more accurate basic data for subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction.
