Abstract:A scene model based stereo-camera calibration method is presented in this paper. The initial calibration process firstly constructs a global scene model, and based on this, both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the stereocamera are estimated separately and optimized jointly. The update calibration utilizes the established scene model to restore three dimentiontwo dimention relation between model coordinate and image coordinate, with the relation, stereocamera parameters are updated through joint optimization. The experiments in realworld show that the method calibrates all the parameters while SLAMbased method only solves a part, and the accuracy of the method is better than the chessboard based method.
