An All-In-One Solution to Geometric and Photometric Calibration
We developed a fully automated approach to calibrating multiple cameras
whose fields of view may not all overlap. Our technique only
requires waving an arbitrary textured planar pattern in front of the
cameras, which is the only manual intervention that is required. The
pattern is then automatically detected in the frames where it is visible
and used to simultaneously recover geometric and photometric
camera calibration parameters.
In other words, even a novice user can use our system to extract
all the information required to add virtual 3D objects into the scene
and light them convincingly. This makes it ideal for Augmented
Reality applications.
