Knowledge of precise camera poses is vital for multi-camera setups. Camera intrinsics can be obtained for each camera separately in lab conditions. For fixed multi-camera setups, the extrinsic calibration can only be done in situ. Usually, some markers are used, like checkerboards, requiring some level of overlap between cameras. In this work, we propose a method for cases with little or no overlap. Laser lines are projected on a plane (e.g., floor or wall) using a laser line projector. The pose of the plane and cameras is then optimized using bundle adjustment to match the lines seen by the cameras. To find the extrinsic calibration, only a partial overlap between the laser lines and the field of view of the cameras is needed. Real-world experiments were conducted both with and without overlapping fields of view, resulting in rotation errors below 0.5°. We show that the accuracy is comparable to other state-of-the-art methods while offering a more practical procedure. The method can also be used in large-scale applications and can be fully automated.

Abstract Portable manipulators are installed for operation and then removed upon completion of their task. Typical applications of portable manipulators include the inspection of nuclear reactors, inspection and repair of nuclear steam generators and asbestos removal in buildings. In such operations, it is difficult to precisely position the manipulator at a fixed location within its workplace, yet this is critical for accurate tool positioning. It can be possible, however, to position the tool tip at several points in the environment using video feedback and manual operator control of the manipulator. This provides sufficient information to determine the position and orientation of the manipulator base frame with respect to the environment, hereafter referred to as extrinsic calibration. Following extrinsic calibration, subsequent moves of the manipulator can be automated. This paper describes a closed-form method for performing extrinsic calibration by contacting the tool to a total of six places on three orthogonal plane surfaces of reference.
