Camera calibration is a crucial step in binocular measurement, and the accuracy of camera calibration largely determines the measurement accuracy of binocular vision. However, the calibration accuracy of existing calibration methods is difficult to satisfy the requirements of variable calibration environments and engineering applications. Therefore, based on the principle of Zhang's calibration method, a calibration method is proposed by combining bundle adjustment and diagonal constraints of the calibration target. Firstly, the improved Canny edge extraction algorithm is used to obtain the sub-pixel center of mass of ellipse (CME). Then, the Zhang's calibration method is used to obtain the initial values of the calibration parameters. The camera calibration parameters are optimized by using the bundle adjustment. Finally, diagonal constraints are used to further optimize the extrinsic camera position parameters. The experimental results show that compared to the other excellent methods, the proposed method can significantly improve calibration accuracy and has certain engineering application value.

Inspired by the biological eye movements of fish such as pipefish and sandlances, this paper presents a novel dynamic calibration method specifically for active stereo vision systems to address the challenges of active cameras with varying fields of view (FOVs). By integrating static calibration based on camera rotation angles with dynamic updates of extrinsic parameters, the method leverages relative pose adjustments between the rotation axis and cameras to update extrinsic parameters continuously in real-time. It facilitates epipolar rectification as the FOV changes, and enables precise disparity computation and accurate depth information acquisition.

Aberration correction is critical for obtaining sharp images but remains a challenging task. Owing to its ability to record both spatial and angular information of light rays, light field imaging is a powerful method to measure and correct optical aberrations. However, current methods need extensive calibrations to obtain prior information about the camera, which is restrictive in real-world applications.

The mantis shrimp is recognized to have one of the most powerful vision systems in nature, with up to 16 color-perceiving channels and the perception of linear and circular polarization detection. Inspired by its biostructure, we developed a snapshot polarization-hyperspectral camera (pHScam) to detect linear polarization in four directions and spectral signature in 21 bands of incident light, resulting in a 4D polar-spectral hypercube, represented as (,,,→). We introduced two bio-mimetic encoding mechanisms, viz.

Purpose: In this feasibility study, we aimed to create a dedicated pulmonary augmented reality (AR) workflow to enable a semi-automated intraoperative overlay of the pulmonary anatomy during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS).

Methods: Initially, the stereoscopic cameras were calibrated to obtain the intrinsic camera parameters. Intraoperatively, stereoscopic images were recorded and a 3D point cloud was generated from these images.
