External Calibration of Multi-camera System Based on Efficient Pair-wise Estimation
Conference paper
Abstract
In this paper, we present an external calibration technique for typical multi-camera system. The technique is very handy in practice using a simple planar pattern. Based on homography, an efficient pair-wise estimation method is proposed to recover the rigid rotation and translation between neighboring cameras. By registering all these partial calibrated structures, complete calibration of the multi-camera system is accomplished. Experiments with both simulated and real data show that accurate and stable calibration results can be achieved by the proposed method.
