A multi-view image rectification algorithm for matrix camera arrangement

Abstract

This paper presents a rectification algorithm for multi-view images captured by a matrix multi-camera arrangement. In this work, an ergodic method is proposed to trace the ideal rotation matrix and the preferred location of the optical centers. Moreover, the camera's intrinsic parameters are optimized to obtain the ideal projection matrix, from which the image rectifying transform matrix(IRTM) is further derived. Then the multi-view image is rectified with the IRTM. Experimental results show that this proposed algorithm has great effect on multi-view image rectification for matrix camera arrangement.
