Depth distortion under calibration uncertainty
There have been relatively little works to shed light on the effects of errors in the intrinsic parameters on motion estimation and scene reconstruction. Given that the estimation...

Stabilizing the Focal Length Computation for 3-D Reconstruction from Two Uncalibrated Views
In order to reconstruct 3-D shape from two uncalibrated views, one needs to resolve two problems: (i) the computed focal lengths can be imaginary; (ii) the computation fails for fi...

Can We Calibrate a Camera Using an Image of a Flat, Textureless Lambertian Surface?
Abstract. In this paper, we show that it is possible to calibrate a camera using just a flat, textureless Lambertian surface and constant illumination. This is done using the effec...

Accurate self-calibration of two cameras by observations of a moving person on a ground plane
A calibration algorithm of two cameras using observations of a moving person is presented. Similar methods have been proposed for self-calibration with a single camera, but intern...
