• Abstract: The internal geometry of most modern consumer cameras is not adequately described by the perspective projection. Almost all cameras exhibit some radial lens distortion and are equipped with an electronic rolling shutter that induces distortions when the camera moves during the image capture. When focal length has not been calibrated offline, the parameters that describe the radial and rolling shutter distortions are usually unknown. While for global shutter cameras, minimal solvers for the absolute camera pose and unknown focal length and radial distortion are available, solvers for the rolling shutter were missing. We present the first minimal solutions for the absolute pose of a rolling shutter camera with unknown rolling shutter parameters, focal length, and radial distortion. Our new minimal solvers combine iterative schemes designed for calibrated rolling shutter cameras with fast generalized eigenvalue and Groebner basis solvers. In a series of experiments, with both synthetic and real data, we show that our new solvers provide accurate estimates of the camera pose, rolling shutter parameters, focal length, and radial distortion parameters.

• The Influence of Autofocus Lenses in the Camera Calibration Process [0.0]
  Camera calibration process consists of adjusting a set of data to a pin-hole model. Pin-hole model does not represent the camera behavior accurately if the focus is considered. A pin-hole model with distance dependent focal length is proposed to improve the calibration process substantially.

• An Adaptive Method for Camera Attribution under Complex Radial Distortion Corrections [77.34726150561087]
  In-camera or out-camera software/firmware alters the supporting grid of the image so as to hamper PRNU-based camera attribution. Existing solutions to deal with this problem try to invert/estimate the correction using radial transformations parameterized with few variables in order to restrain the computational load. We propose an adaptive algorithm that by dividing the image into concentric annuli is able to deal with sophisticated corrections like those applied out-camera by third party software like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Gimp and PT-Lens.
