Method for calibrating cameras with non-overlapping views

摘要

A method calibrates one or more cameras, wherein the one or more cameras acquire images of a scene for different viewpoints, and wherein the images are non-overlapping, by first constructing a 3D model of the scene using a calibration camera that is independent of the one or more cameras, and a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) procedure. 2D-to-3D correspondences between each of the images and the 3D model are determined. Then, calibration parameters of each of the one or more cameras are estimated using a 2D-to-3D registration procedure.
