Abstract
In this paper we describe a method for estimating the internal
parameters of the left and right cameras associated with a stereo
image pair. The stereo pair has known epipolar geometry and therefore
3-D projective reconstruction of pairs of matched image points is
available. The stereo pair is allowed to move and hence there is a
collineation relating the two projective reconstructions computed before and
after the motion. We show that this collineation has similar but
different parameterizations for general and ground-plane rigid motions
and we make explicit the relationship between the internal camera
parameters and such a collineation. We devise a practical method for
recovering four camera parameters from a single general motion or
three camera parameters from a single ground-plane motion. Numerous
experiments with simulated, calibrated and natural data validate the
calibration method.
