• Abstract: Camera calibration is crucial for 3D vision applications. This paper focuses on improving the accuracy of feature extraction, which is a key step in calibration. We address the aliasing problem of star-shaped pattern by introducing a novel dynamic calibration target that synthesizes multiple checkerboard patterns of different angle around pattern center, which significantly improves feature refinement accuracy. Additionally, we propose a novel cost function of feature refinement that accounts for defocus effect, offering a more physically realistic model compared to existing symmetry based method, experiment on a large dataset demonstrate significant improvements in calibration accuracy with reduced computation time.

  We propose a distortion vector map (DVM) that measures the degree and direction of local distortion. By learning the DVM, the model can independently identify local distortions at each pixel without relying on global distortion patterns. In the pre-training stage, it predicts the distortion vector map and perceives the local distortion features of each pixel. In the fine-tuning stage, it predicts a pixel-wise flow map for deviated fisheye image rectification.
