Detailed Description

Camera model and functions for a stereo camera system.

Handles two instances of CCalibration to model a stereo camera system, computes the epipolar geometriy and performs stereo triangulation.

The camera model that is used for modeling the two individual cameras, including the extrinsic camera parameters, is described in detail in the documentation of the class CCalibration.

The instance can be initialized either by reading a stereo camera parameter file (LoadCameraParameters(const char*, bool) or by assigning two instances of CCalibration (SetSingleCalibrations(const CCalibration&, const CCalibration&, bool). It is possible to adapt the extrinsic parameters, so that the world coordinate system and the camera coordinate system of the left camera become equal.

After initialization, a 3D point can be calculated, given a point correspondence in the left and right camera image (Calculate3DPoint(const Vec2d&, const Vec2d&, Vec3d&, bool, bool, PointPair3d*). Furthermore, access to the epipolar lines is offered.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CStereoCalibration::CStereoCalibration ( )

The default constructor.

The default constructor initializes the stereo camera model with a standard camera setup with a baseline of 100 mm (no orientation difference, i.e. $R_{{\rm left}} = R_{{\rm right}} = I$ and ${\bf t}{{\rm left}} = (0,\,0,\,0)^T,\ {\bf t}{{\rm right}} = (-100,\,0,\,0)^T$), where I denotes the 3x3 identity matrix..

The intrinsic parameters of the cameras are equal and are listed in CCalibration::CCalibration().

Definition at line 66 of file StereoCalibration.cpp.

CStereoCalibration::~CStereoCalibration ( )

The destructor.

Definition at line 78 of file StereoCalibration.cpp.

CStereoCalibration::CStereoCalibration ( const CStereoCalibration stereoCalibration)

The copy constructor.

Definition at line 84 of file StereoCalibration.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void CStereoCalibration::Calculate3DPoint ( const Vec2d cameraPointLeft,
const Vec2d cameraPointRight,
Vec3d worldPoint,
bool  bInputImagesAreRectified,
bool  bUseDistortionParameters = true,
PointPair3d pConnectionLine = 0 
)

Computes a 3D point, given a point correspondence in both images, by performing stereo triangulation.

Parameters
[in]cameraPointLeftThe 2D point in the left image.
[in]cameraPointRightThe 2D point in the right image.
[out]worldPointThe result 3D point in the world coordinate system.
[in]bInputImagesAreRectifiedIf set to true, cameraPointLeft and cameraPointRight are transformed to the corresponding 2D points in the original images, so that the camera models can be applied. If set to false, cameraPointLeft and cameraPointRight must have been computed on non-rectified images.
[in]bUseDistortionParametersIf set to true, the (inverse) distortion model will be applied before linear back projection, i.e. cameraPointLeft and cameraPointRight must contain distorted image coordinates. If set to false, the distortion model is skipped, i.e. cameraPointLeft and cameraPointRight must contain undistorted image coordinates. In other words: If the images in which the coordinates cameraPointLeft and cameraPoint right were calculate were undistorted beforehand then set this parameter to false, otherwise to true.
[out]pConnectionLineOptional output parameter for receiving the two endpoints of the shortest connection line between the two re-projected straight lines. The parameter worldPoint contains the center of this connection line.

void CStereoCalibration::CalculateEpipolarLineInLeftImage ( const Vec2d pointInRightImage,
Vec3d l 
)

Given an image point in the right image, computes the corresponding epipolar line in the left image.

The representation of the epipolar line ${\bf l} = (l_1,\,l_2\,l_3)^T$ is defined as:

All image points (u, v) lying on the epipolar line satisfy this equation. Note that $(l_1,\,l_2)^T$ is the normal vector the line.

Parameters
[in]pointInRightImageThe 2D point in the right image.
[out]lA 3D vector representing the result epipolar line. It is l1 = l.x, l2 = l.y, l3 = l.z.

void CStereoCalibration::GetProjectionMatricesForRectifiedImages ( Mat3d P1Left,
Vec3d p2Left,
Mat3d P1Right,
Vec3d p2Right 
) const

Sets up the projection matrix P for the rectified images.

The projection matrix P for an image that was rectified according to the homography H is a 3x4 matrix defined as:

$P = \left(H \cdot K \cdot R | H \cdot K \cdot {\bf t}\right)$, where K denotes the calibration matrix (see CCalibration::GetCalibrationMatrix), R and t are the extrinsic parameters, and H is the homography that maps undistorted image coordinates to rectified image coordinates.

Note that in the case of the left camera H is the inverse of CStereoCalibration::rectificationHomographyLeft, and in the case of the right camera H is the inverse of CStereoCalibration::rectificationHomographyRight.

The camera model is described in the general information about the class CCalibration.

Parameters
[out]P1LeftThe left 3x3 part of the projection matrix for the left camera, i.e. P1Left = H_left K_left R_left.
[out]p2LeftThe right 3x1 part of the projection matrix for the right camera, i.e. p2Left = H_left K_left t_left.
[out]P1RightThe left 3x3 part of the projection matrix for the right camera, i.e. P1Right = H_right K_right R_right.
[out]p2RightThe right 3x1 part of the projection matrix for the right camera, i.e. p2Right = H_right K_right t_right.

const CCalibration* CStereoCalibration::GetRightCalibration ( ) const
inline

Access to the instance of CCalibration for the camera model of the right camera.

Definition at line 214 of file StereoCalibration.h.

bool CStereoCalibration::LoadCameraParameters ( const char *  pCameraParameterFileName,
bool  bTransformLeftCameraToIdentity = true 
)

Initializes the stereo camera model, given a file path to a stereo camera parameter file.

The format of the file is the same as the one used in OpenCV 1.0. It is...

Camera calibration can be performed with the application found in IVT/examples/CalibrationApp (resp. IVT/win32/CalibrationApp). See also the class CDLTCalibration.

Parameters
[in]pCameraParameterFileNameThe file path to the camera parameter file to be loaded.
bTransformLeftCameraToIdentityIf set to true, then the extrinsic parameters will be adapted so that the extrinsic parameters of the left camera become the identiy mapping, i.e. $R_{{\rm left}} = I$ and ${\bf t}{{\rm left}} = (0,\,0,\,0)^T$, where I denotes the 3x3 identity matrix. That means that the world coordinate systems and the camera coordinate system of the left camera become equal. If set to false, the extrinsic parameters are not changed. Note that the internal fundamental matrix for the epipolar geometry is not affected by the choice of this flag.

Definition at line 421 of file StereoCalibration.cpp.

bool CStereoCalibration::SaveCameraParameters ( const char *  pCameraParameterFileName) const

Writes the parameters of the camera model to camera parameter file.

The format of the file is the same as the one used in OpenCV 1.0. The file format is described in LoadCameraParameters(const char*, bool).

In the following specification of the file format, the first row of each double row contains the parameters of the first, i.e. left, camera, and the second row the parameters of the right camera, respectively. The parameter $n \in \{1,\,2\}$ denotes the number of cameras.

n

w h fx 0 cx 0 fy cy 0 0 1 d1 d2 d3 d4 r1 r2 r3 r4 r5 r6 r7 r8 r9 t1 t2 t3
w h fx 0 cx 0 fy cy 0 0 1 d1 d2 d3 d4 r1 r2 r3 r4 r5 r6 r7 r8 r9 t1 t2 t3

u1 v1 u2 v2 u3 v3 u4 v4
u1 v1 u2 v2 u3 v3 u4 v4

a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9

For each camera, the parameters w and h denote the width and height, respectively. The next nine parameters define the calibration matrix (see CCalibration::GetCalibrationMatrix). The parameters d1-d4 denote the distortion parameters of the distortion model, the extrinsic parameters r1-r9 define the rotation matrix R and t1-t3 the translation vector t (see camera model description in the documentation of the class CCalibration). These parameters of both cameras fully describe the epipolar geometry.

The parameters (u1, v1), ..., (u4, v4) define the corner points of the destination quadrangle after rectification. These parameters are not necessary (and redundant) and are therefore not read by the IVT.

Finally, the rectification parameters a1-a9 specify the 3x3 homography matrix A. This homography computes the image coordinates in the original image for given image coordinates in the rectified images. It can thus be directly used to compute a lookup table for the mapping, which is implemented efficiently by the class CRectification.

Parameters
[in]pCameraParameterFileNameThe file path to the target camera parameter file.
Returns
true on success and false on failure.
