Detailed Description

Camera model parameters and functions for a single camera.

The linear projection is modeled as a central perspective projection with the parameters fx, fy and cx, cy.

$\left(\begin{array}{c} u\\ v\\ \end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{c} c_x\\ c_y\\ \end{array}\right)+\frac{1}{z_c} \left(\begin{array}{c} f_x\,x_c\\ f_y\,y_c\\ \end{array}\right)$

where u, v denote image coordinates, fx, fy the focal lengths, cx, cy the principal point, and xc, yc, zc denote camera coordinates.

The relationship between the world coordinate system and the camera coordinate system is modeled as a rigid body coordinate transformation from the world coordinate system into the camera coordinate system:

${\bf x}_c = R \cdot {\bf x}_w + {\bf t}$

where ${\bf x}_w$ denotes world coordinates, ${\bf x}_c$ denotes camera coordinates, R is a 3x3 rotation matrix and t is a translation vector (R, t are the extrinsic camera parameters).

The distortion model is composed of radial lens distortion (parameters d1, d2) and tangential lens distortion (parameters d3, d4). It is modeled as the computation of distorted image coordinates (ud, vd), given undistorted image coordinates (u, v):

$x_n = \frac{u-c_x}{f_x}$ $y_n = \frac{v-c_y}{f_y}$

$r = \sqrt{x_n^2 + y_n^2}$

$\left(\begin{array}{c} x_d\\ y_d\\ \end{array}\right) =(1+d_1r^2+d_2r^4) \left(\begin{array}{c} x_n\\ y_n\\ \end{array}\right)+ \left(\begin{array}{c} d_3(2x_ny_n)+d_4(r^2+2x_n^2)\\ d_3(r^2+2y_n^2)+d_4(2x_ny_n)\\ \end{array}\right)$

$\left(\begin{array}{c} u_d\\ v_d\\ \end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{c} c_x\\ c_y\\ \end{array}\right)+ \left(\begin{array}{c} x_d \cdot f_x\\ y_d \cdot f_y\\ \end{array}\right)$

The camera model is described in detail in (P. Azad, T. Gockel, R. Dillmann, "Computer Vision - Principles and Practice", Elektor, Netherlands). It is the same camera model as used in OpenCV 1.0.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CCalibration::CCalibration ( )

The default constructor.

The default constructor initializes the camera model with the values width = 640, height = 480, fx = fy = 580, cx = 320, cy = 240, R = I, t = 0, d1 = d2 = d3 = d4 = 0. See CCameraParameters for further information on these parameters.

Camera parameters computed with calibration algorithms can be loaded by calling the method CCalibration::LoadCameraParameters.

CCalibration::~CCalibration ( )

The destructor.

bool  bUseDistortionParameters = true 
) const

void CCalibration::ImageToCameraCoordinates ( const Vec2d imagePoint,

bool  bUseDistortionParameters = true 
) const

Transforms 2D image coordinates to 3D camera coordinates.

Performs the mapping from the image coordinate system to the camera coordinate system, i.e. back projection.

This mapping is ambiguous: All points that are mapped to 2D image point are located on straight line through the center of projection.

Parameters
[in]imagePointThe 2D image coordinates.
[out]cameraPointThe result parameter for the 3D camera coordinates.
[in]zcAs the 2D => 3D mapping is ambiguous, this parameter is required as an additional constraint to specify a unique point. zc specifies the z-coordinate of the target point in the camera coordinate system.

If set to false, the distortion model is skipped, i.e. the input parameter imagePoint must contain undistorted image coordinates.

void CCalibration::ImageToWorldCoordinates ( const Vec2d imagePoint,

Parameters
[in]imagePointThe 2D image coordinates.
[out]worldPointThe result parameter for the 3D world coordinates.
[in]zcAs the 2D => 3D mapping is ambiguous, this parameter is required as an additional constraint to specify a unique point. zc specifies the z-coordinate of the target point in the camera coordinate system (not world coordinate system!).
[in]bUseDistortionParametersIf set to true, the (inverse) distortion model will be applied before linear back projection, i.e. the input parameter imagePoint must contain distorted image coordinates.

Mat3d CCalibration::m_rotation_inverse

Rotation matrix of the inverted extrinsic transformation.

The extrinsic parameters specify the mapping ${\bf x}_c = R \cdot {\bf x}_w + {\bf t}$.

The inverse extrinsic parameters specify ${\bf x}_w = R^{-1} \cdot {\bf x}_c- R^{-1}{\bf t}$.

CCalibration::m_rotation_inverse thus is $R^{-1}$.

Definition at line 443 of file Calibration.h.

Vec3d CCalibration::m_translation_inverse

Translation vector of the inverted extrinsic transformation.

The extrinsic parameters specify the mapping ${\bf x}_c = R \cdot {\bf x}_w + {\bf t}$.

The inverse extrinsic parameters specify ${\bf x}_w = R^{-1} \cdot {\bf x}_c - R^{-1}{\bf t}$.

CCalibration::m_translation_inverse thus is $-R^{-1}{\bf t}$. It also equals the world coordinates of the center of projection.
