摘要
Stereo-based 3D distributed smart camera networks are useful in a broad range of applications. Knowledge of the relative locations and orientations of nodes in the network is an essential prerequisite for true 3D sensing. A novel spatial calibration method for a network of pre-calibrated stereo smart cameras is presented, which obtains pose estimates suitable for collaborative 3D vision in a distributed fashion using two stages of registration on robust 3D point sets. The method is initially described in a geometrical sense, then presented in a practical implementation using existing vision and registration algorithms. Experiments using both software simulations and physical devices are designed and executed to demonstrate performance. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
