Exploring high accuracy Camera Calibration for SLAM
Precise calibration is a crucial part of many robotics systems. Especially, the calibration of cameras is necessary for various computer vision applications, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Often the respective sensor setups are assembled, calibrated once and then used for several weeks or months without being recalibrated. Environmental influences, such as temperature changes, vibration or impacts, might, however, influence the sensor’s calibration over time.
The goal of this project is to study the influence of environmental factors on precise camera calibration1 and how these can be accounted for in SLAM. The respective change of the calibration parameters could be investigated, and existing SLAM methods could be extended to account for this in their computations.
