Structured Light Scanning

The multiview 3D data registration precision will decrease with the increasing number of registrations when measuring a large scale object using structured light scanning. In this paper, we propose a high-precision registration method based on multiple view geometry theory in order to solve this problem. First, a multiview network is constructed during the scanning process. The bundle adjustment method from digital close range photogrammetry is used to optimize the multiview network to obtain high-precision global control points. After that, the 3D data under each local coordinate of each scan are registered with the global control points. The method overcomes the error accumulation in the traditional registration process and reduces the time consumption of the following 3D data global optimization. The multiview 3D scan registration precision and efficiency are increased. Experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The online system state initialization and simultaneous spatial-temporal calibration are critical for monocular Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) since these parameters are either not well provided or even unknown. Although impressive performance has been achieved, most of the existing methods are designed for filter-based VIOs. For the optimization-based VIOs, there is not much online spatial-temporal calibration method in the literature. In this paper, we propose an optimization-based online initialization and spatial-temporal calibration method for VIO. The method does not need any prior knowledge about spatial and temporal configurations. It estimates the initial states of metric-scale, velocity, gravity, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) biases, and calibrates the coordinate transformation and time offsets between the camera and IMU sensors. The work routine of the method is as follows. First, it uses a time offset model and two short-term motion interpolation algorithms to align and interpolate the camera and IMU measurement data. Then, the aligned and interpolated results are sent to an incremental estimator to estimate the initial states and the spatial–temporal parameters. After that, a bundle adjustment is additionally included to improve the accuracy of the estimated results. Experiments using both synthetic and public datasets are performed to examine the performance of the proposed method. The results show that both the initial states and the spatial-temporal parameters can be well estimated. The method outperforms other contemporary methods used for comparison.

Partial Overlap

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.
