Description
find_marks_and_posefind_marks_and_poseFindMarksAndPoseFindMarksAndPoseFindMarksAndPose is used to determine the
input data for a subsequent camera calibration using a calibration plate
with rectangularly arranged marks (see
Calibration / Multi-View or camera_calibrationcamera_calibrationCameraCalibrationCameraCalibrationCameraCalibration):
First, the 2D center points
[RCoordRCoordRCoordRCoordRCoord,CCoordCCoordCCoordCCoordCCoord] of the calibration marks within
the region CalPlateRegionCalPlateRegionCalPlateRegionCalPlateRegioncalPlateRegion of the input image ImageImageImageImageimage
are extracted and ordered. Secondly, a rough estimate for
the external camera parameters (StartPoseStartPoseStartPoseStartPosestartPose) is computed,
i.e., the 3D pose (= position and orientation) of the calibration plate
relative to the camera coordinate system (see create_posecreate_poseCreatePoseCreatePoseCreatePose for more
information about 3D poses).
In the input image ImageImageImageImageimage an edge detector is applied
(see edges_imageedges_imageEdgesImageEdgesImageEdgesImage, mode 'lanser2') to the region
CalPlateRegionCalPlateRegionCalPlateRegionCalPlateRegioncalPlateRegion,
which can be found by applying the operator find_caltabfind_caltabFindCaltabFindCaltabFindCaltab.
The filter parameter for this edge detection can be tuned via
AlphaAlphaAlphaAlphaalpha. Use a smaller value for AlphaAlphaAlphaAlphaalpha to achieve
a stronger smoothing effect.
In the edge image closed contours are searched for: The number of
closed contours must correspond to the number of calibration marks
as described in the calibration plate description file
CalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrcalPlateDescr and the contours have to be elliptically shaped.
Contours shorter than MinContLengthMinContLengthMinContLengthMinContLengthminContLength are discarded,
just as contours enclosing regions with a diameter larger than
MaxDiamMarksMaxDiamMarksMaxDiamMarksMaxDiamMarksmaxDiamMarks (e.g., the border of the calibration plate).
For the detection of contours a threshold operator is applied
on the resulting amplitudes of the edge detector.
All points with a high amplitude (i.e., borders of marks)
are selected.
First, the threshold value is set to
StartThreshStartThreshStartThreshStartThreshstartThresh. If the search for the closed contours or the
successive pose estimate fails, this threshold value is successively
decreased by DeltaThreshDeltaThreshDeltaThreshDeltaThreshdeltaThresh down to a minimum value of
MinThreshMinThreshMinThreshMinThreshminThresh.
Each of the found contours is refined with subpixel accuracy (see
edges_sub_pixedges_sub_pixEdgesSubPixEdgesSubPixEdgesSubPix) and
subsequently approximated by an ellipse. The center points of these
ellipses represent a good approximation of the desired 2D image coordinates
[RCoordRCoordRCoordRCoordRCoord,CCoordCCoordCCoordCCoordCCoord] of the calibration mark center points.
The order of the values within these two tuples must correspond to
the order of the 3D coordinates of the calibration marks in the calibration
plate description file CalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrcalPlateDescr, since this fixes the
correspondences between extracted image marks and known model marks
(given by caltab_pointscaltab_pointsCaltabPointsCaltabPointsCaltabPoints)! If a
triangular orientation mark is defined in a corner of the plate by the
plate description file (see gen_caltabgen_caltabGenCaltabGenCaltabGenCaltab), the mark will be detected
and the point order is returned in row-major order beginning with the
corner mark in the (barycentric) negative quadrant with respect to the
defined coordinate system of the plate. Else, if no orientation mark is
defined, the order of the center points is in row-major order beginning at
the upper left corner mark in the image.
Based on the ellipse parameters for each calibration mark, a rough
estimate for the external camera parameters is finally computed.
For this purpose the fixed correspondences between extracted image marks
and known model marks are used. The estimate StartPoseStartPoseStartPoseStartPosestartPose
describes the pose of the calibration plate in the camera coordinate
system as required by the operator camera_calibrationcamera_calibrationCameraCalibrationCameraCalibrationCameraCalibration.
