Title
Radial Lens Distortion Correction Using Convolutional Neural Networks Trained With Synthesized Images
Abstract
Radial lens distortion often exists in images taken by common cameras, which violates the assumption of pinhole camera model. Estimating the radial lens distortion of an image is an important preprocessing step for many vision applications. This paper intends to employ CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks), to achieve radial distortion correction. However, the main issue hinder its progress is the scarcity of training data with radial distortion annotations. Inspired by the growing availability of image dataset with non-radial distortion, we propose a framework to address the issue by synthesizing images with radial distortion for CNNs. We believe that a large number of images of high variation of radial distortion is generated, which can be well exploited by deep CNN with a high learning capacity. We present quantitative results that demonstrate the ability of our technique to estimate the radial distortion with comparisons against several baseline methods, including an automatic method based on Hough transforms of distorted line images.
