Problems solved by technology

This analytical unfolding method is strongly dependent on the camera model, making it very sensitive to parameter changes. When there is a relatively large alignment error between the mirror and the camera, the method will fail
Furthermore, in many cases, the exact model parameters of the omnidirectional system are difficult to obtain

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for expanding N-surface perspective panoramic images of an omni-directional camera, which is based on Taylor series models. The method comprises the following steps that: the omni-directional camera is calibrated by use of a Taylor series model, so as to obtain internal parameters of the camera; the size of an N-surface perspective panoramic image is estimated; and re-projection and interpolation are carried out so as to obtain the N-surface perspective panoramic image. The method is applicable to various omni-directional vision sensors, has the characteristicof wide application range, and can obtain parameters through calibration under the condition that the parameters of the omni-directional vision sensors are unknown and carry out effective panoramic image expansion. Every surface in the generated N-surface perspective panoramic image is equivalent to an image generated by a common perspective camera, thereby ensuring that the application of the prior algorithm applied to the prior perspective camera can be continued.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for unfolding an N-plane perspective panorama of a ring image obtained by an omnidirectional camera, in particular to a method for unfolding an omnidirectional camera N-plane perspective panorama based on a Taylor series model. Background technique [0002] In recent years, thanks to the wide viewing angle characteristics of the omnidirectional camera, it has been applied to more and more fields, such as robot navigation, video surveillance, etc. Early panoramic images were mainly acquired by multi-camera stitching or single-camera rotation. However, the above methods all require correction and registration between ordinary fluoroscopic images, and are not suitable for real-time imaging applications. In contrast, omnidirectional cameras can obtain 360° environmental information at one time, making them ideal sensors for vision applications. An omnidirectional camera generally consists of an ordinary camera and a conv...
