Abstract
In this paper, a simple method for ellipse detection is proposed and applied in central catadioptric camera calibration. It consists of two phases. Firstly it locates ellipse center candidates using center symmetry of ellipses, and the detected edge points are grouped into several subsets according to the center candidates. Then all the ellipses are fitted by performing RANSAC for each subset. We also present an approach for calibrating a central catadioptric camera based on the bounding ellipse of the catadioptric image. Using the proposed ellipse detection method, we can easily detect the bounding ellipse. As a result, a simple self-calibration can be realized, which can be used in some applications where high accuracy of the calibration is not required. Experiments show the proposed method is effective.
