Systems and methods for calibration of a 360 degree camera system

摘要

Systems and methods for calibrating a 360 degree camera system include imaging reference strips, analyzing the imaged data to correct for pitch, roll, and yaw of cameras of the 360 degree camera system, and analyzing the image data to correct for zoom and shifting of the cameras. Each of the reference strips may include a bullseye component and a dots component to aid in the analyzing and correcting.

主权项

1. A method of calibrating a 360 degree camera system having a plurality of cameras, comprising:
placing the 360 degree camera system at a first location; placing reference strips at respective additional locations, each additional location equidistant from the first location and each additional location corresponding to a viewing angle intersection between two adjacent cameras of the 360 degree camera system; adjusting the height of the 360 degree camera system such that the camera height is equal to the middle of the reference strips; capturing imaged data of two of the reference strips using each of the cameras; straightening imaged reference strips within the image data captured by a first camera of the plurality of cameras; and, matching the imaged reference strips imaged by the first camera to the image reference strips captured by each camera adjacent to the first camera.
