Motivation

Multiple Camera calibration is similar to single camera calibration, the main difference being that the affine transformation between all possible pairs of cameras in each frame is considered rigid. This type of calibration is especially challenging in setups where the cameras do not have a good overlap in their fields of view and as such the calibration pattern cannot be seen by all of them.

The standard chessboard calibration pattern is ill suited for calibrating multiple cameras, as its detection requires that the entire pattern be visible by the camera. Random Dot Markers have been developed to enable tracking even when the calibration pattern is partially oculded or partially outside the image [4]. The recognition and tracking of the markers are based on keypoint matching using local geometrical relationship of keypoints with LLAH (Locally Likely Arrangement Hashing) [2,4].


Goals

Goal of this work is the implementation of a robust approach to multiple camera calibration. This type of calibration has gained significant attention in past years due to its application to 3D model recovery.
