Calibrating a network of cameras with non-overlapping views is an important and challenging problem in computer vision. In this paper, we present a novel technique for camera calibration using a planar mirror. We overcome the need for all cameras to see a common calibration object directly by allowing them to see it through a mirror. We use the fact that the mirrored views generate a family of mirrored camera poses that uniquely describe the real camera pose. Our method consists of the following two steps: (1) using standard calibration methods to find the internal and external parameters of a set of mirrored camera poses, (2) estimating the external parameters of the real cameras from their mirrored poses by formulating constraints between them. We demonstrate our method on real and synthetic data for camera clusters with small overlap between the views and non-overlapping views.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
