Active camera calibration using pan, tilt and roll

Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1997
Three dimensional vision applications, such as robot vision, require modeling of the relationship between the two-dimensional images and the three-dimensional world. Camera calibration is a process which accurately models this relationship. The calibration procedure determines the geometric parameters of the camera, such as focal length and center of ...

Direct cone beam SPECT reconstruction with camera tilt

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1993
A filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm is derived to perform cone beam (CB) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) reconstruction with camera tilt using circular orbits. This algorithm reconstructs the tilted angle CB projection data directly by incorporating the tilt angle into it.

Tracking of flying insects using pan-tilt cameras

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2000
Potent and affordable video and computer systems for automatic data acquisition are becoming increasingly important in behavioural neuroscience. It has remained challenging, however, to acquire data from small and fast-moving animals, such as insects in flight, due to the limited spatial and temporal resolution of the systems currently available.

Calibration of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Cameras and Omni-Directional Cameras

2005 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR'05), 2005
In the first part we discuss the problem of recovering the calibration of a network of pan-tilt-zoom cameras. The intrinsic parameters of each camera over its full range of zoom settings are estimated through a two step procedure. We first determine the intrinsic parameters at the camera's lowest zoom setting very accurately by capturing an extended ...

Estimating Camera Tilt from Motion without Tracking

2017 14th Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV), 2017
Most methods for automatic estimation of external camera parameters (e.g., tilt angle) from deployed cameras are based on vanishing points. This requires that specific static scene features, e.g., sets of parallel lines, be present and reliably detected, and this is not always possible.

Practical self-calibration of pan-tilt cameras

IEE Proceedings - Vision, Image, and Signal Processing, 2001
The authors propose a practical self-calibration method of rotating and zooming cameras. The problem with previous methods occurs when the camera motion is almost fully zoomed with very little rotation, which is called the `near-degenerate' configuration. In that case, the solutions become unstable and rotation angles cannot be calculated.

Stereoscopic System with the Tight Tilted Cameras

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
Thispaper describes a stereoscopic camera system based on a pair of separate cameras.The cameras are stationary and tilted together. The value of their tiltingangle is derived in regards to their maximal possible utilization of the chiparea with the minimalizing unused parts. It can increase the size of the croppedimage of both left and right images as

Real Time Target Tracking with Pan Tilt Zoom Camera

2009 Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications, 2009
We present an approach for real-time tracking of a non-rigid target with a moving pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. The tracking of the object and control of the camera is handled by one computer in real time. The main contribution of the paper is method for target representation, localisation and detection, which takes into account both foreground and ...

Probabilistic certification of pan-tilt-zoom camera surveillance systems

IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference, 2011
In this work a method to evaluate the performance of autonomous patrolling systems is introduced based on stochastic reachability with random sets. We consider set-valued models with stochastic dynamics for multiple pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras acting as pursuers and a single evader. The problem of maximizing the probability that the evader successfully

Reliability-based camera handoff for cooperative tracking with multiple pan-tilt cameras

International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems, 2013
We present a new handoff method for multiple pan-tilt cameras for mobile robot tracking in an indoor environment. Camera handoff is an important step to consistently maintain the visibility of a mobile robot with maximized object tracking accuracy. First, we propose a method to estimate the position of a mobile robot using single pan-tilt camera. Then,
