Fisheye camera model

Detailed Description

Definitions: Let P be a point in 3D of coordinates X in the world reference frame (stored in the matrix X) The coordinate vector of P in the camera reference frame is:

\[Xc = R X + T\]

where R is the rotation matrix corresponding to the rotation vector om: R = rodrigues(om); call x, y and z the 3 coordinates of Xc:

\[\begin{array}{l} x = Xc_1 \\ y = Xc_2 \\ z = Xc_3 \end{array} \]

The pinhole projection coordinates of P is [a; b] where

\[\begin{array}{l} a = x / z \ and \ b = y / z \\ r^2 = a^2 + b^2 \\ \theta = atan(r) \end{array} \]

Fisheye distortion:

\[\theta_d = \theta (1 + k_1 \theta^2 + k_2 \theta^4 + k_3 \theta^6 + k_4 \theta^8)\]

The distorted point coordinates are [x'; y'] where

\[\begin{array}{l} x' = (\theta_d / r) a \\ y' = (\theta_d / r) b \end{array} \]

Finally, conversion into pixel coordinates: The final pixel coordinates vector [u; v] where:

\[\begin{array}{l} u = f_x (x' + \alpha y') + c_x \\ v = f_y y' + c_y \end{array} \]

		InputOutputArray	K,
		InputOutputArray	D,
		OutputArrayOfArrays	rvecs,
		OutputArrayOfArrays	tvecs,
		int	flags = 0,

Python:
	cv.fisheye.calibrate(	objectPoints, imagePoints, image_size, K, D[, rvecs[, tvecs[, flags[, criteria]]]]	) ->	retval, K, D, rvecs, tvecs

#include <opencv2/calib3d.hpp>

Performs camera calibration.

Parameters

objectPoints	vector of vectors of calibration pattern points in the calibration pattern coordinate space.
imagePoints	vector of vectors of the projections of calibration pattern points. imagePoints.size() and objectPoints.size() and imagePoints[i].size() must be equal to objectPoints[i].size() for each i.
image_size	Size of the image used only to initialize the camera intrinsic matrix.
K	Output 3x3 floating-point camera intrinsic matrix \(\cameramatrix{A}\) . If fisheye::CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is specified, some or all of fx, fy, cx, cy must be initialized before calling the function.
D	Output vector of distortion coefficients \(\distcoeffsfisheye\).
rvecs	Output vector of rotation vectors (see Rodrigues ) estimated for each pattern view. That is, each k-th rotation vector together with the corresponding k-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the model coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the world coordinate space, that is, a real position of the calibration pattern in the k-th pattern view (k=0.. M -1).
tvecs	Output vector of translation vectors estimated for each pattern view.
flags	Different flags that may be zero or a combination of the following values: fisheye::CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS cameraMatrix contains valid initial values of fx, fy, cx, cy that are optimized further. Otherwise, (cx, cy) is initially set to the image center ( imageSize is used), and focal distances are computed in a least-squares fashion. fisheye::CALIB_RECOMPUTE_EXTRINSIC Extrinsic will be recomputed after each iteration of intrinsic optimization. fisheye::CALIB_CHECK_COND The functions will check validity of condition number. fisheye::CALIB_FIX_SKEW Skew coefficient (alpha) is set to zero and stay zero. fisheye::CALIB_FIX_K1,..., fisheye::CALIB_FIX_K4 Selected distortion coefficients are set to zeros and stay zero. fisheye::CALIB_FIX_PRINCIPAL_POINT The principal point is not changed during the global optimization. It stays at the center or at a different location specified when fisheye::CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set too. fisheye::CALIB_FIX_FOCAL_LENGTH The focal length is not changed during the global optimization. It is the \(max(width,height)/\pi\) or the provided \(f_x\), \(f_y\) when fisheye::CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set too.
criteria	Termination criteria for the iterative optimization algorithm.

void cv::fisheye::distortPoints	(	InputArray	undistorted,
		OutputArray	distorted,

		InputArray	D,
		double	alpha = 0
	)

Python:
	cv.fisheye.distortPoints(	undistorted, K, D[, distorted[, alpha]]	) ->	distorted
	cv.fisheye.distortPoints(	undistorted, Kundistorted, K, D[, distorted[, alpha]]	) ->	distorted

#include <opencv2/calib3d.hpp>

Distorts 2D points using fisheye model.

Parameters

undistorted	Array of object points, 1xN/Nx1 2-channel (or vector<Point2f> ), where N is the number of points in the view.
K	Camera intrinsic matrix \(\cameramatrix{K}\).

alpha	The skew coefficient.
distorted	Output array of image points, 1xN/Nx1 2-channel, or vector<Point2f> .

Note that the function assumes the camera intrinsic matrix of the undistorted points to be identity. This means if you want to distort image points you have to multiply them with \(K^{-1}\) or use another function overload.

#include <opencv2/calib3d.hpp>

Overload of distortPoints function to handle cases when undistorted points are obtained with non-identity camera matrix, e.g. output of estimateNewCameraMatrixForUndistortRectify.

D2	Second camera distortion parameters.
imageSize	Size of the image used for stereo calibration.
R	Rotation matrix between the coordinate systems of the first and the second cameras.
tvec	Translation vector between coordinate systems of the cameras.

fov_scale	Divisor for new focal length.

undistortImage()

void cv::fisheye::undistortImage	(	InputArray	distorted,
		OutputArray	undistorted,
		InputArray	K,
		InputArray	D,
		InputArray	Knew = cv::noArray(),
		const Size &	new_size = Size()
	)

Python:
	cv.fisheye.undistortImage(	distorted, K, D[, undistorted[, Knew[, new_size]]]	) ->	undistorted

#include <opencv2/calib3d.hpp>

Transforms an image to compensate for fisheye lens distortion.

Parameters

distorted	image with fisheye lens distortion.
undistorted	Output image with compensated fisheye lens distortion.
K	Camera intrinsic matrix \(\cameramatrix{K}\).
D	Input vector of distortion coefficients \(\distcoeffsfisheye\).
Knew	Camera intrinsic matrix of the distorted image. By default, it is the identity matrix but you may additionally scale and shift the result by using a different matrix.
new_size	the new size

The function transforms an image to compensate radial and tangential lens distortion.

The function is simply a combination of fisheye::initUndistortRectifyMap (with unity R ) and remap (with bilinear interpolation). See the former function for details of the transformation being performed.

See below the results of undistortImage.

• a) result of undistort of perspective camera model (all possible coefficients (k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4, k_5, k_6) of distortion were optimized under calibration)
  • b) result of fisheye::undistortImage of fisheye camera model (all possible coefficients (k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4) of fisheye distortion were optimized under calibration)
  • c) original image was captured with fisheye lens

Pictures a) and b) almost the same. But if we consider points of image located far from the center of image, we can notice that on image a) these points are distorted.

		OutputArray	undistorted,
		InputArray	K,
		InputArray	D,
		InputArray	R = noArray(),
		InputArray	P = noArray(),
		TermCriteria	criteria = TermCriteria(TermCriteria::MAX_ITER+TermCriteria::EPS, 10, 1e-8)

Python:
	cv.fisheye.undistortPoints(	distorted, K, D[, undistorted[, R[, P[, criteria]]]]	) ->	undistorted

#include <opencv2/calib3d.hpp>

Undistorts 2D points using fisheye model.

Parameters

K	Camera intrinsic matrix \(\cameramatrix{K}\).
D	Input vector of distortion coefficients \(\distcoeffsfisheye\).
R	Rectification transformation in the object space: 3x3 1-channel, or vector: 3x1/1x3 1-channel or 1x1 3-channel
P	New camera intrinsic matrix (3x3) or new projection matrix (3x4)
criteria	Termination criteria
undistorted	Output array of image points, 1xN/Nx1 2-channel, or vector<Point2f> .
