The invention discloses an automobile panoramic camera joint calibration method and
system. The method comprises two steps of primary calibration and
global optimization. According to the primary calibration, calibration cloth with the same number as the cameras is arranged on the ground, based on the plane
homography transformation principle,
homography matrixes of all the cameras are sequentially solved in an iteration mode, and internal parameters of the cameras are not needed in the whole process. In the
global optimization, an initial
calibration result is used as an initial value, minimization of re-projection errors of all angular points is taken as a target, and
angular point world coordinates of all calibration cloth and
homography matrixes of all cameras are synchronously optimized by adopting a nonlinear optimization
algorithm, so that accumulated errors caused by chain transmission are effectively eliminated. The invention further protects the
electronic equipment for executing the method, a computer storage medium and an automobile panoramic imaging
system comprising the method. According to the method, the calibration process is simplified, the requirement for hardware knowledge is reduced, the calibration precision and robustness are remarkably improved, and meanwhile, a comprehensive patent
protection system is constructed.
