Description

The multi-viewpoint attitude of three-dimensional active vision sensor is estimated and self-calibrating method

Technical field

The multi-viewpoint attitude that the present invention relates to a kind of three-dimensional active vision sensor is estimated and self-calibrating method, belongs to 3 D digital imaging and Modeling Technology.

Background technology

3 D digital imaging and moulding (3DIM-3D Digital Imaging and Modeling) are active research emerging interdisciplinary fields in the world in recent years.It is applied to all many-sides such as reverse engineering, historical relic's protection, medical diagnosis, industrial detection and virtual reality widely.As obtaining one of main means of three-dimensional information, based on the three-dimensional active vision sensor of phase mapping have that speed is fast, resolution is high, advantage such as noncontact and whole audience data are obtained and be subjected to extensive concern and research.Find the solution the direction of motion of sensor, estimated sensor is an important process at the position and attitude of different points of view.Because the visual field of depth transducer is limited, and is subjected to the restriction of direction of observation and the shape of object own, can not once obtain describing the full detail of body form.In actual applications, need be placed on object in the perform region before the sensor, obtain describing the depth image of body form from a viewpoint, movable sensor then obtains the depth information of other parts of object in new viewpoint.Repeat this process, till the whole depth informations that obtain object.Therefore, accurately providing the position and attitude information of each viewpoint is the key that guarantees to calibrate and merge the depth image data of many viewpoints collections in unified coordinate system.

In addition, before the use three-dimensional visual sensor carried out three-dimensional measurement, sensor must be demarcated with the inner parameter of acquisition sensor and the structural parameters of sensor through accurate.Traditional scaling method automaticity is low, needs the two dimension of a known accurate coordinates to demarcate target and high-precision translation stage and moves along the vertical direction of two-dimentional target, to finish three-dimensional demarcation.People such as Hu (Optical Engineering, Vol.42, No.2,2003, pp487-493) and Shao Shuanyun etc. (optics journal, Vol.25, No.2,2005, pp 203-206) all adopted this method.For these class methods, if the structural parameters of measuring system change, for example operating distance changes, and then whole sensor must be demarcated again, thereby can't realize easily, mobile measurement.And this carries out the occasion that many viewpoints are measured for the regular adjustment sensing station of needs, and frequent repeating demarcated and made such sensor almost be difficult to practicality.

Therefore, we wish the function that three-dimensional visual sensor can have synchronously attitude estimation automatically and demarcate automatically, no longer need to use the standard calibration facility to obtain outside three-dimensional data.Such ability has been arranged, and no matter vision sensor moves to any viewpoint, can both obtain the posture position of this viewpoint automatically, and finish demarcation automatically, and three-dimensional measurement can interruptedly not gone on.

In recent years, the research of the self-calibration technology of vision sensor is received very big concern, but the majority in these feasible methods is the development to passive vision transducer calibration method (as stereoscopic vision) and based drive depth perception.And to the three-dimensional active vision sensor based on phase mapping, scaling method is static manually-operated mostly, and existing camera self-calibration method, as Zhang (IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, Vol.12, No.1,1996, pp103-113), can not directly be applied in three-dimensional active vision sensor.
