State-of-art camera calibration methods always require sharp target images for accurate feature detection. This Letter presents a novel calibration method for a defocused camera with a conventional periodic target. Two crossed phase maps are recovered from the periodic target image by Fourier transform. Instead of intensity, feature points are extracted from the phase domain, which is robust against camera defocusing. Simulations and experiments confirm that the proposed method can realize accurate camera calibration using both focused and defocused images.

Significance: Laparoscopic surgery presents challenges in localizing oncological margins due to poor contrast between healthy and malignant tissues. Optical properties can uniquely identify various tissue types and disease states with high sensitivity and specificity, making it a promising tool for surgical guidance. Although spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) effectively measures quantitative optical properties, its deployment in laparoscopy is challenging due to the constrained imaging environment.

Laser-based systems, essential in diverse applications, demand accurate geometric calibration to ensure precise performance. The calibration process of the system requires establishing a reliable relationship between input parameters and the corresponding 3D description of the outgoing laser beams. The quality of the calibration depends on the quality of the dataset of measured laser lines.

Vehicle speed measurement method using monocular cameras.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Computer and Information Engineering College, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Hohhot, 010000, China.

This paper proposes a method for fast and accurate vehicle speed measurement based on a monocular camera. Firstly, by establishing a new camera imaging model, the calibration method for variable focal lengths is optimized, simplifying the transformation process between the four coordinate systems in traditional camera imaging models, and the method does not need to restore the pixel coordinates to dedistortion. Secondly, based on the camera imaging model, a two-dimensional positioning algorithm is proposed.
