Abstract. This paper presents an approach to the problem of on-line stereo self-calibration. After a short introduction of the general method, we propose a new one, based on the minimization of matching costs. We furthermore show that the number of matched pixels can be used as a quality measure. A Metropolis algorithm based Monte-Carlo scheme is employed to reliably minimize the costs. We present experimental results in the context of automotive stereo with different matching algorithms. These show the effectiveness for the calibration of roll and pitch angle offsets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
