• Abstract: Preparing appropriate images for camera calibration is crucial to obtain accurate results. In this paper, new suggestions for preparing such data to alleviate the adverse effect of radial distortion for a calibration procedure using principal lines are developed through the investigations of: (i) identifying directions of checkerboard movements in an image which will result in maximum (and minimum) influence on the calibration results, and (ii) inspecting symmetry and monotonicity of such effect in (i) using the above principal lines. Accordingly, it is suggested that the estimation of principal point should based on linearly independent pairs of nearly parallel principal lines, with a member in each pair corresponds to a near 180-degree rotation (in the image plane) of the other. Experimental results show that more robust and consistent calibration results for the foregoing estimation can actually be obtained, compared with the renowned algebraic methods which estimate distortion parameters explicitly.

  The integration of omnidirectional cameras, offering a larger field of view compared to traditional RGB cameras, has proven to yield more accurate and robust results. However, challenges arise in situations that lack features, have substantial noise causing significant errors, and where certain features in the images lack sufficient strength. Here, we address these challenges by introducing a novel visual gyroscope, which combines an analytical method with a neural network approach.

• Single-image camera calibration with model-free distortion correction [0.0]
  This paper proposes a method for estimating the complete set of calibration parameters from a single image of a planar speckle pattern covering the entire sensor. The correspondence between image points and physical points on the calibration target is obtained using Digital Image Correlation. At the end of the procedure, a dense and uniform model-free distortion map is obtained over the entire image.

• 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.

• Degradation-agnostic Correspondence from Resolution-asymmetric Stereo [96.03964515969652]
  We study the problem of stereo matching from a pair of images with different resolutions, e.g., those acquired with a tele-wide camera system. We propose to impose the consistency between two views in a feature space instead of the image space, named feature-metric consistency. We find that, although a stereo matching network trained with the photometric loss is not optimal, its feature extractor can produce degradation-agnostic and matching-specific features.

  The Virtual Image Correlation method applies for the measurement of boundaries with sub-pixel precision. It consists in a correlation between the image of interest and a virtual image based on a parametrized curve. The method is exact in 1D, insensitive to local curvature and to contrast variation, and that the bias induced by luminance variation can be easily corrected.

Using only a single gaze target and single head position is sufficient to achieve high quality calibration, outperforming state-of-the-art methods by more than 6.3%.
