The invention discloses an RGB-T dual-light camera
system parameter self-calibration method based on
shape context, and relates to the technical field of camera parameter self-calibration, and the method comprises the steps: synchronously collecting a plurality of frames of RGB images and thermal imaging images of an object at different visual angles, respectively extracting the outlines of the images through employing a contour
extraction algorithm, carrying out the sampling of the outlines, and carrying out the self-calibration of the parameters of the RGB-T dual-light camera
system. Obtaining a contour
point set and calculating a
shape context histogram; comparing the
shape context histograms to obtain a matching
point set, and when the number of matching points in the set exceeds a set threshold value, obtaining a matching point
essential matrix based on an RANSAC
algorithm; and decomposing the
essential matrix through SVD to obtain decomposed external parameters, optimizing the decomposed external parameters through a nonlinear optimization technology, and completing RGB-T dual-light camera
system parameter self-calibration by using the optimized external parameters. According to the method, the calculation of the relative
pose external parameters between the cameras can be realized without special
processing, and the calibration of the RGB-T dual-light camera system is facilitated.
