Abstract

The invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency and rough precision in a plurality of cameras calibration process in a vehicle-mounted around-looking system. According to the method, in one progress, fewer feature points are utilized to completely calibrate internal parameters and external parameters of a camera. An analytic mathematical algorithm is utilized to find an optimal value of the parameters; and with respect to a parameter space scanning method, an initial value, which is close to a true value, of the internal parameters and external parameters is not needed. In the invention, individual differences produced in the camera design production process are taken into consideration. Therefore, vehicle-mounted wide-angle cameras which are produced by different manufacturers and in different batches are adapted in the method without configuring any internal parameter for the camera separately. According to the method, individual position and angle differences produced in the vehicle-mounted camera assembling process are taken into consideration without presetting any external parameters for any type of vehicles by operators. Position relationship between all cameras and correction markers is utilized to calculate the posture of a vehicle body, thereby maximumly moderating the strict requirement of high-precision disposition of the vehicle and the correction markers, enabling the vehicle to park freely in a certain range, and improving operation convenience and time efficiency.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the invention will be further described.The vehicle-mounted disposal system of looking around is to be become by the Duo Tai wide-angle imaging mechanism being assemblied on car body all around, and it is certain interval that every video camera covers, and image generates vertical view through viewpoint change, and splices and obtain vehicle and look around aerial view.In order to make the image that above-mentioned many wide-angle imaging machines that are assemblied on car body absorb can generate the not seamless spliced synthetic panoramic view of looking down of distortion through viewpoint change, the above-mentioned inner parameter (camera lens of video camera and the parameter of sensor devices) that is assemblied in the wide-angle imaging machine on car body must be by Accurate Calibration with external parameter (camera coordinate system, the relative position relation of world coordinate system and bodywork reference frame).Whether the inner parameter of video camera accurately directly affects the distortion correction effect of composite diagram.Whether whether the external parameter of video camera accurately can affect each camera image junction in composite diagram misplaces, and also can affect whether in final composite diagram, look down the relative position relation of panoramic view and car body correct.
The present invention proposes by less unique point, the inner parameter of camera and external parameter to be demarcated complete completely in a process.
The present invention utilizes the position relationship between each camera and calibration mark thing, has at utmost relaxed the strict demand that vehicle and calibration mark object height precision are placed, and vehicle can freely be parked within the specific limits.
The present invention puts in the following manner calibration mark thing on level road.Calibration mark thing in the present invention is black and white grid as shown in Figure 1.Big or small dX and the dY of black and white grid both knew, number nX and the nY of whole calibration mark thing medium square both knew (nX * nY=2 * 2 in Fig. 1).In the present invention, used 4 block correction marks, this 4 block mark thing is put by rectangular mode on surface level, requires to be parallel to each other, as shown in Figure 2 between mark.The Width of the rectangle that 4 block mark things in Fig. 2 surround and width and the length that Height is greater than car body, thus vehicle can be parked into being of a size of as shown in Figure 2 in the rectangular area of Width and Height.
Scaling method proposed by the invention requires to be demarcated vehicle and stops shown in Fig. 2, being of a size of in the rectangular area of Width and Height, parks afterwards as schematically shown in Figure 3.Concrete parking is restricted to: vehicle-mounted 4 camera Cam all around f, Cam r, Cam b, Cam lfOV (Field of View) VF f, VF r, VF b, VF loverlapping region VF rF, VF rB, VF lF, VF lBin must have a complete correction mark, in the image that every camera absorbs, have two complete calibration mark things, as shown in Figure 4.Figure 5 shows that vehicle-mounted 4 camera Cam all around f, Cam r, Cam b, Cam lthe example of image for the demarcation of absorbing according to above-mentioned calibration mark thing disposing way and storing cycle mode.In the present invention, the constraint condition of storing cycle is: parking of vehicle will guarantee that every camera can absorb two blocks of complete mark images.Except this constraint, vehicle can freely be parked, thereby has improved convenience and the efficiency of operation.Fig. 6 is that the another kind that meets storing cycle constraint condition is parked example.
Set forth the inside and outside parameter scaling method of single camera below.
Existing vehicle-mounted its inner parameter of wide-angle camera on market is comprised: horizontal focal distance f x, longitudinal focal distance f y, the non-square degree alpha of sensitive chip pixel, the position cx of camera lens optical axis on sensitive chip, cy, radial distortion and tangential distortion k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, also has other model parameter to add for fish eye lens according to the camera model of selecting.For fish eye lens camera, existed several universal models to select now, according to implementing convenience, can therefrom choose.
The necessity that camera inner parameter is demarcated: one, camera fluctuates near design load because fabrication error makes the Inside Parameter Value of the camera of final finished in production assembling process.If do not consider this fabrication error, only by design load, camera is not carried out to distortion correction, it proofreaies and correct result still can contain distortion composition.Two, different suppliers may adopt different camera model, if use its specific camera model can cause together with interdepending of camera and program code to each supply of material commercial city, thereby the independent design code of the camera that is necessary for each supplier, the versatility that is unfavorable for like this product, is also unfavorable for the maintenance work in product later stage.
The present invention is by using universal wide-angle imaging machine mathematical model, avoided the dependence to the specific mathematical model of the camera of particular vendors particular batch, thereby can when coding code, not need to work out specific calibrating procedure for the specific mathematical model to the camera of particular vendors particular batch.
The external parameter of camera comprises that calibration mark article coordinate is CS gin camera coordinates, be CS cin position (X gc, Y gc, Z gc) and the anglec of rotation (rx gc, ry gc, rz gc)
The present invention adjusts camera inner parameter by numerical solution algorithm and external parameter makes to proofread and correct by the unique point of mark in true three-dimension space minimum through the whole residual error of position coordinates between the unique point of the calibration mark thing after projective transformation and in camera institute pickup image.This numerical solution mode need to be asked for the coordinate of unique point measured on image with respect to the Jacobi matrix (Jacobian Matrix) of camera inside and outside parameter, then utilizes the linearities such as Kalman filtering (Kalman Filtering) or levenberg-marquardt algorithm or nonlinear optimization method to find the inside and outside parameter of one group of optimum.
The present invention for the calibration process of single camera is: operator chooses the unique point of two-piece update mark on original image, it is unique point (as shown in Figure 7, wherein 4 little square frames on mark summit are the unique points being selected) that every block mark thing is chosen its 4 summits; It is measurement data that calibration algorithm be take the coordinate of these 8 points, utilizes the inside and outside parameter of above-mentioned method of value solving calibration for cameras; Camera inside and outside parameter utilizes the camera inside and outside parameter of gained to carry out projective transformation to the mark unique point in three dimensions after demarcating and finishing, projected on original image, if the coordinate of the unique point that the coordinate in incident point and operator choose coincide, represent to demarcate correct, can exit calibration process, otherwise continue to demarcate.
Mode by virtual measurement joins in calibration frame by priori and uses by the mode of entering to demarcate and solve for measuring dimension and be equal to or less than the situation of demarcating dimension, is easy to occur by the coupling between calibrating parameters (coupling) problem with over-fitting (over-fitting).
Demarcation for single camera, be measured as 82 dimension points, i.e. 16 data, and the external parameter of required demarcation has 3 rotation parameters of 3 displacement parameters totally 6 parameters, the inner parameter of required demarcation also has 10 left and right according to above-mentioned to the elaboration of camera inner parameter, and the parameter that therefore altogether will demarcate has 16 left and right.For measuring dimension, be equal to or less than the situation of demarcating dimension, be easy to occur by the coupling between calibrating parameters (coupling) and over-fitting (over-fitting).This present invention is proposed to following calibration strategy: increase priori with by entering to demarcate.Increase priori refers to following priori is joined in calibration process: the horizontal focal distance f x of camera approaches with longitudinal focal distance f y numerical value, the position cx of camera lens optical axis on sensitive chip, and cy should be near the center of image.The present invention sees through virtual measurement technique above-mentioned priori is joined in calibration process.So-called virtual measurement refers to increases by three measuring amount fy, cx, and cy, its measured value is respectively fx, ImageWidth/2, ImageHeight/2, the horizontal pixel number that wherein ImageWidth is camera image, longitudinal pixel count that ImageHeight is camera image.So-called by entering to demarcate to refer to that the present invention does in batches and demarcates all parameters, but as shown in Figure 8 calibrating parameters grouping is demarcated every group of parameter by entering, when demarcating a certain group of parameter, other parameters keep original value constant.This carries out by entering calibration process circulation, until the residual error of unique point is less than some threshold values or cycle index exceeds some threshold values on mark.If residual error exceeds a certain threshold value after exiting circulation, the present invention can initiate a message and require it again to choose measurement point again to demarcate to operator.
Figure 9 shows that according to the inventive method single camera is demarcated and finished to utilize afterwards the result of demarcation that mark unique point is projected to the effect on image.The residual error that Fig. 9 demonstrates mark unique point is intuitively very little.
