Calibration of a Catadioptric System and 3D Reconstruction Based on Surface Structured Light.

Abstract

In response to the problem of the small field of vision in 3D reconstruction, a 3D reconstruction system based on a catadioptric camera and projector was built by introducing a traditional camera to calibrate the catadioptric camera and projector system. Firstly, the intrinsic parameters of the camera and the traditional camera are calibrated separately. Then, the calibration of the projection system is accomplished by the traditional camera. Secondly, the coordinate system is introduced to calculate, respectively, the position of the catadioptric camera and projector in the coordinate system, and the position relationship between the coordinate systems of the catadioptric camera and the projector is obtained. Finally, the projector is used to project the structured light fringe to realize the reconstruction using a catadioptric camera. The experimental results show that the reconstruction error is 0.75 mm and the relative error is 0.0068 for a target of about 1 m. The calibration method and reconstruction method proposed in this paper can guarantee the ideal geometric reconstruction accuracy.
