Kaneda, 99) This becomes even more difficul when he scene is no viewed hrough clear air bu hrough mis, smoke or urbid waer rificial scenes do no compleely reproduce he deailed variaion of objecs, he muliude of complex lighing condiions and modes of image degradaion encounered in he real world Vision and image processing algorihms ofen seem o perform much beer on arificial (or arificially degraded) images han on real images The only rue es of compuer vision algorihms remains heir performance on real daa To his end, several researchers have aemped o combine real image daa wih some knowledge of ground-ruh Oe, 994, describes he use of a robo arm o ranslae a camera a known speeds, generaing real image sequences for he assessmen of opical flow algorihms The measured ground-ruh daa is limied o known opic flow fields raher han explici camera posiions and he camera is only ranslaed Roaional camera moion is no addressed McCane,, also describes image sequences wih known ground-ruh moion fields The work is limied o simple D scenes conaining planar polyhedral objecs agains a fla background The echnique involves laborious hand-labelling of feaures in each image and so only very shor sequences are usable Wunsch, 996, uses a robo arm o posiion a camera in known poses relaive o an observed objec Similarly, Sim, 999, generaes individual images from known camera posiions using a camera mouned on a ganry
2 robo In he work of boh Wunsch and Sim, ground-ruh posiions are only measured for individual sill images as opposed o video sequences oh auhors appear o obain camera posiions from he robo conroller I is no clear if or how he posiions of he camera (opical cenre) were measured relaive o he robo end-effecor gapio,, generaes ground-ruh image sequences using heir Yorick sereo head/eye plaform The work is limied o providing roaional moion wih only wo degrees of freedom lhough daa for angles of elevaion and pan can be exraced from he moor encoders of he plaform, hese are no in relaionship o a paricular observed objec The ranslaional posiion of he camera remains unknown Maimone, 996, discusses various approaches for quanifying he performance of sereo vision algorihms, including he use of boh synheic images and real images wih various kinds of known ground-ruh Maimone does menion he use of an image of a calibraion arge o derive ground-ruh for a corresponding image of a visually ineresing scene, filmed from an idenical camera posiion However, he echniques are limied o he acquisiion of individual, sill images from fixed camera posiions The addiional problems, of generaing ground-ruh for exended video sequences, filmed from a moving camera, are no addressed In conras, our mehod enables he producion of long video sequences, filmed along a six degree of freedom rajecory, feauring a variey of objecs, in a variey of differen visibiliy condiions, for which complee ground-ruh daa is known including he camera posiion and orienaion a every image frame, inrinsic camera calibraion daa, a lens disorion model and models of he viewed objecs METHOD pparaus and procedure n indusrial robo arm (six degree of freedom Unimaion PUM 56) is used o move a digial cam-corder (JVC GR- DV) along a highly repeaable rajecory Tes sequences, (feauring various objecs of ineres in various differen visibiliy and lighing condiions), and calibraion sequences (feauring planar calibraion arges in good visibiliy) are filmed along idenical rajecories (figures, ) Figure Tes sequence -camera views a model oil-rig objec in poor visibiliy Figure Calibraion sequence -camera views calibraion arges in good visibiliy complee camera model, lens disorion model, and camera posiion and orienaion can be exraced from he calibraion sequence for every frame, by making use of he relaionship beween known world co-ordinaes and measured image coordinaes of calibraion feaures This informaion is used o provide ground-ruh for chronologically corresponding frames in he visually ineresing es sequences Objecs o be observed are measured, modeled and locaed precisely in he co-ordinae sysem of one of he calibraion arges For hose researchers ineresed in vision in poor visibiliy condiions (eg Solkin ) dry ice fog can be used during he es sequences (figure ) in addiion o various lighing condiions (eg fixed lighing or spo-lighs mouned on and moving wih he camera) Noe, i is no feasible o exrac camera posiions from he robo conrol sysem since he posiion of he camera relaive o he erminal link of he robo remains unknown; indusrial robos, while highly repeaable, are no accurae; chronologically maching a series of robo posiions o a series of images may be problemaic Synchronisaion The calibraion and es sequences are synchronised by beginning each camera moion wih a view of an exra synchronisaion spo feaure (a whie circular spo on black background) frame from each sequence is found such ha he synchronisaion spo maches well when he wo frames are superimposed Thus he n h frame from he maching frame in he es sequence is aken o have he same camera posiion as ha measured for he n h frame from he maching frame in he calibraion sequence The wo sequences can only be synchronised o he neares image frame (ie a wors case error of ± seconds a 5 frames per second) There are wo ways of minimizing his error Firsly, he camera is moved slowly so ha emporal errors resul in very small spaial errors Secondly, many examples of each sequence are filmed, increasing he probabiliy of finding a pair of sequences ha mach well (correc o he neares pixel) If en examples of each sequence are filmed, hen he expeced error is reduced by a facor of
3 3 Feaure exracion and labelling The calibraion arges are black planes conaining square grids of whie circular spos The planes are arranged so ha a leas one is always in view and so ha hey are no co-planar The posiions of spos in images are deermined by deecing he spos as blobs and hen compuing he blob cenroid small number (a leas 4) of spos in each of a few images scaered hrough he video sequence are hen hand-labeled wih heir corresponding arge plane co-ordinaes The remaining spos in all images are labeled by an auomaed process The iniial four labels are used o esimae he homography mapping beween he arge plane and he image plane This homography is hen used o projec all possible arge spos ino he image plane ny deeced spos in he image are hen assigned he labels of he closes maching projeced spos Spos in chronologically adjacen images are now labeled by assigning hem he labels of he neares spos from he previous (already labeled) image These wo processes, of projecion and propagaion, are ieraed backwards and forwards over he enire image sequence unil no new spo labels are found 4 Camera calibraion and posiion measuremen Our calibraion mehod is adaped from ha of Zhang, 998, which describes how o calibrae a camera using a few images of a planar calibraion arge Relaed calibraion work includes Tsai, 987 The following is a condensed summary of our implemenaion of hese ideas 4 Homography beween an image and a calibraion arge: Since he calibraion arges are planar, he mapping beween he (homogeneous) arge co-ordinaes of calibraion feaures, [ Y ] T, and heir corresponding x i u v form a homography, expressible as a 3 3 marix: (homogeneous) image co-ordinaes, [ ] T [ h h h ] xi H 3, mus () Thus each calibraion feaure, whose posiion in an image is known and whose corresponding arge co-ordinaes have been idenified, provides wo consrains on he homography large number of such feaure correspondences provides a large number of simulaneous equaions: wu wv w w u w v w wnun n w nvn H Y Y Y () n w n leas squares fi homography is hen found using singular value decomposiion 4 Consrains on he camera calibraion parameers: The mapping beween he arge and image planes mus also be defined by he inrinsic and exrinsic camera calibraion parameers of he camera: x H CE i where C is he inrinsic or calibraion marix : fk C u fk v u v (3) (f is focal lengh, k u and k v are pixels per uni lengh in he u and v direcions, (u, v ) are he co-ordinaes of he principal poin, pixel array assumed o be square) and E is he exrinsics marix defining he posiion and orienaion of he camera (relaive o he arge co-ordinae sysem), ie r r T [ ] E, where r and T denoe roaion and ranslaion vecors Noe ha only wo roaion vecors (no hree) are needed since he calibraion arge plane is defined o lie a Z in he arge co-ordinae sysem Hence: [ h h h ] C[ r r T] H 3 Since he column vecors of a roaion marix are always muually orhonormal, we have: r T r (5) r Since n r T T r r r C h h n hese become: T T C C h T T T T and h C C h h C C h Thus one homography provides wo consrains on he inrinsic parameers Ideally, many homographies (from muliple images of calibraion arges) are used and a leas squares fi soluion for he inrinsic parameers is found using singular value decomposiion Once he inrinsic parameers have been found using a few differen views of a calibraion arge, he exrinsic parameers can be exraced from any oher single homography, ie he camera posiion and orienaion can be exraced for any single image frame provided ha i feaures several spos from a leas one arge 43 Locaing arges relaive o each oher: We use muliple calibraion arges o ensure ha a leas one arge is always in view during complicaed (six degree-of-freedom) camera rajecories Provided ha a leas one arge is visible o he camera a each frame, he posiion of he camera can be compued by choosing one arge o hold he world co-ordinae sysem and knowing he ransformaions which relae his arge o he ohers The relaionship beween any wo arges is deermined from images which feaure boh arges ogeher, by deermining he homography which maps beween he coordinae sysems of each arge For wo arges, and : i (4) (6) (7) (8) x H H (9) where and are he posiions of a single poin in he respecive co-ordinae sysem of each arge Thus: ( H ) xi ( H ) H () 44 Modeling lens disorion: Lens disorion is modelled as a radial shif of he undisored pixel locaion (u, v) o he disored pixel locaion ( uˆ, vˆ ), such ha: 4 u ˆ u + u u k r + k r () ( )( ) 4 and v ˆ v + ( v v )( k r + k r ) () where ( ) ( ) r u u + v v
