International Classification:

G06T 7/80
G06T 7/593

Abstract:

Systems and methods for in-field camera calibration in a stereovision system may include using a plurality of cameras to capture an image pair, the image pair comprising images of a scene; identifying infinite points on the images of the image pair using a calibration circuit; the calibration circuit determining a disparity amount between corresponding infinite points for each camera; and the calibration circuit determining an inverse operation to reduce the determined disparity amount between the corresponding infinite points. Systems and methods may also include a calibration circuit identifying corresponding points, in which the corresponding points include a point on a first image of an image pair corresponding to a point on a second image of the image pair; determining a translational disparity amount between the corresponding points for each camera; and determining an inverse operation to reduce the determined translational disparity amount between the corresponding infinite points.
