A flexible technique to easily calibrate a camera that only requires the camera to observe a planar pattern shown at a few (at least two) different orientations is proposed and advances 3D computer vision one more step from laboratory environments to real world use.Abstract:
We propose a flexible technique to easily calibrate a camera. It only requires the camera to observe a planar pattern shown at a few (at least two) different orientations. Either the camera or the planar pattern can be freely moved. The motion need not be known. Radial lens distortion is modeled. The proposed procedure consists of a closed-form solution, followed by a nonlinear refinement based on the maximum likelihood criterion. Both computer simulation and real data have been used to test the proposed technique and very good results have been obtained. Compared with classical techniques which use expensive equipment such as two or three orthogonal planes, the proposed technique is easy to use and flexible. It advances 3D computer vision one more step from laboratory environments to real world use.read more

A real-time system for full body interaction with virtual worlds
TL;DR: The ability to reconstruct a full-body model of the actors and any additional props or elements opens the way for very natural interaction techniques using the entire body and real elements manipulated by the user, whose avatar is immersed in a virtual world.

Self calibration of multiple LIDARs and cameras on autonomous vehicles
TL;DR: The idea proposed in this paper is to use a ball in motion in front of a set of uncalibrated sensors allowing them to detect its center along the successive positions to generate a point cloud per sensor, which, by using segmentation and fitting techniques, allows the calculation of the rigid body transformation among all pairs of sensors.

Self-calibration of a General Radially Symmetric Distortion Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the distortion function is modeled as a varying focal length, which is a function of the distance to the distortion center, which can be discretized, acting as a general model, or represented with e.g. a polynomial expression.

Modeling and correction of multipath interference in time of flight cameras
TL;DR: An iterative optimization algorithm is proposed that obtains model parameters that best reproduce ToF measurements, recovering the depth of the scene without distortion and accurately corrects the multipath distortion, obtaining depth maps that are very close to ground truth data.
