• Abstract: Geometric calibration of cameras and projectors is an essential step that must be performed before any imaging system can be used. There are many well-known geometric calibration methods for calibrating systems comprised of multiple cameras, but simultaneous geometric calibration of multiple projectors and cameras has received less attention. This leaves unresolved several practical issues which must be considered to achieve the simplicity of use required for real world applications. In this work we discuss several important components of a real-world geometric calibration procedure used in our laboratory to calibrate surface imaging systems comprised of many projectors and cameras. We specifically discuss the design of the calibration object and the image processing pipeline used to analyze it in the acquired images. We also provide quantitative calibration results in the form of reprojection errors and compare them to the classic approaches such as Zhang's calibration method.

  We introduce a new approach to hand-eye calibration called EasyHeC, which is markerless, white-box, and delivers superior accuracy and robustness. We propose to use two key technologies: differentiable rendering-based camera pose optimization and consistency-based joint space exploration. Our evaluation demonstrates superior performance in synthetic and real-world datasets.

  We propose a marker-free online method for the extrinsic calibration of multiple smart edge sensors. Our method assumes the intrinsic camera parameters to be known and requires priming with a rough initial estimate of the camera poses. We show that the calibration with our method achieves lower reprojection errors compared to a reference calibration generated by an offline method.

We conduct a large-scale human perception study where we ask participants to judge the realism of 3D objects composited with correct and biased camera calibration parameters.

In our experiments, DeProCams shows clear advantages over previous arts with promising quality and being fully differentiable.

We adapt a state-of-the-art visual-inertial odometry with these modifications, and experimental results show that the modified pipeline can adapt to a wide range of camera setups.
