• Abstract: Calibrating large-scale camera arrays, such as those in dome-based setups, is time-intensive and typically requires dedicated captures of known patterns. While extrinsics in such arrays are fixed due to the physical setup, intrinsics often vary across sessions due to factors like lens adjustments or temperature changes. In this paper, we propose a dense-feature-driven multi-frame calibration method that refines intrinsics directly from scene data, eliminating the necessity for additional calibration captures. Our approach enhances traditional Structure-from-Motion (SfM) pipelines by introducing an extrinsics regularization term to progressively align estimated extrinsics with ground-truth values, a dense feature reprojection term to reduce keypoint errors by minimizing reprojection loss in the feature space, and an intrinsics variance term for joint optimization across multiple frames. Experiments on the Multiface dataset show that our method achieves nearly the same precision as dedicated calibration processes, and significantly enhances intrinsics and 3D reconstruction accuracy. Fully compatible with existing SfM pipelines, our method provides an efficient and practical plug-and-play solution for large-scale camera setups.

  DM-Calib is a diffusion-based approach for estimating pinhole camera intrinsic parameters from a single input image. We introduce a new image-based representation, termed Camera Image, which losslessly encodes the numerical camera intrinsics. By fine-tuning a stable diffusion model to generate a Camera Image from a single RGB input, we can extract camera intrinsics via a RANSAC operation.

  We propose a fully differentiable Many-to-Many (M2M) splatting framework to interpolate frames efficiently. For each input frame pair, M2M has a minuscule computational overhead when interpolating an arbitrary number of in-between frames. We extend an M2M++ framework by introducing a flexible Spatial Selective Refinement component, which allows for trading computational efficiency for quality and vice versa.
