Title
Accurate Camera Calibration for Off-line, Video-Based Augmented Reality
Abstract
Camera tracking is a fundamental requirement for video-based augmented reality applications. The ability to accurately calculate the intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters for each frame of a video sequence is essential if synthetic objects are to be integrated into the image data in a believable way. In this paper, we present an accurate and reliable approach to camera calibration for off-line video-based augmented reality applications. We first describe an improved feature tracking algorithm, based on the widely used Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi tracker. Estimates of inter-frame camera motion are used to guide tracking, greatly reducing the number of incorrectly tracked features. We then present a robust hierarchical scheme that merges sub-sequences together to form a complete projective reconstruction. Finally, we describe how RANSAC-based random sampling can be applied to the problem of self-calibration, allowing for more reliable upgrades to metric geometry. Results of applying our calibration algorithms are given for both synthetic and real data.
