TL;DR

This paper gives a practical algorithm for the self-calibration of a camera from several views that involves non-iterative methods for finding an initial calibration for the camera, followed by least-squares iteration to an optimum solution.

Abstract

This paper gives a practical algorithm for the self-calibration of a camera from several views. The method involves non-iterative methods for finding an initial calibration for the camera, followed by least-squares iteration to an optimum solution. At the same time, a scaled Euclidean reconstruction of the scene appearing in the images is computed.>

NatureA computer algorithm for reconstructing a scene from two projections

A simple algorithm for computing the three-dimensional structure of a scene from a correlated pair of perspective projections is described here, when the spatial relationship between the two projections is unknown.

It is shown, using experiments with noisy data, that it is possible to calibrate a camera just by pointing it at the environment, selecting points of interest and then tracking them in the image as the camera moves.

Lecture notes in computer scienceWhat can be seen in three dimensions with an uncalibrated stereo rig?

833 Citations1992Olivier Faugeras

This paper addresses the problem of determining the kind of three- dimensional reconstructions that can be obtained from a binocular stereo rig for which no three-dimensional metric calibration data is available, and shows that even in this case some very rich non-metric reconstructions of the environment can nonetheless be obtained.

The feasibility of camera calibration based on the epipolar transformation is demonstrated and two curves of degree six can be obtained in the dual plane such that one of the real intersections of the two yields the correct camera calibration.

The problem of computing placement of points in 3-D space, given two uncalibrated perspective views, is considered and it is possible to determine projective invariants of3-D geometric configurations from two perspective views.

A practical algorithm for Euclidean reconstruction from several views with the same camera is given and is shown to behave very robustly in the presence of noise giving excellent calibration and reconstruction results.
