AI Analysis

This addresses camera calibration for robotics or autonomous systems, but appears incremental as it builds on existing PoseNet and online estimation techniques.

The paper tackles camera calibration for non-overlapping cameras by proposing an online method that estimates ego-motion and inter-camera pose using a PoseNet-based network, with experiments on simulations and the KITTI dataset showing effectiveness in simulation.

We propose an easy-to-use non-overlapping camera calibration method. First, successive images are fed to a PoseNet-based network to obtain ego-motion of cameras between frames. Next, the pose between cameras are estimated. Instead of using a batch method, we propose an on-line method of the inter-camera pose estimation. Furthermore, we implement the entire procedure on a computation graph. Experiments with simulations and the KITTI dataset show the proposed method to be effective in simulation.
