Enumeration Type Documentation

CVMIntrinsicCorrectionModel

enum CVMIntrinsicCorrectionModel

Enumerator
CVMICM_XZHomography	Pin hole camera homography transformation for range maps acquired by a laser triangulation camera. In case of laser plane calibration (e.g. in CVMAQS12CreateCalibrator) a 3x3 homogeneous matrix is created that is applied to the x and z components only. The y coordinate must be adjusted via extrinsic calibration as this depends on the acquisition speed.

CVMAQS12CalculateCorrectionOfLaserPlaneInclinationFromPieceRect()

cvbres_t CVMAQS12CalculateCorrectionOfLaserPlaneInclinationFromPieceRect	(	CVCOMPOSITE	DenseCloud,
		cvbdim_t	Left,
		cvbdim_t	Top,
		cvbdim_t	Right,
		cvbdim_t	Bottom,
		CVMAQS12SEGMENTOR3D	Segmentor,
		CVMAQS12CALCONFIG	CalConfig,
		CVC3DTransformation &	TransformationLaserPlaneInclination,
		CVC3DPointD	Residuals[12]
	)

Calculates the affine transformation TransformationLaserPlaneInclination from the given DenseCloud of an AQS12 calibration piece. This transformation corrects errors induced by an inclined laser plane.

Note

In this function, the area of interest is selected from the xy plane of a dense point cloud. So this function does not work with sparse point clouds. For sparse point clouds crop the desired area first and then use function CVMAQS12CalculateCorrectionOfLaserPlaneInclinationFromPiece.

Since

Common Vision Blox 13.4

This function expects a point cloud showing the AQS12 calibration piece in the following orientation:

The LabelImage will have the same dimension as RangeMapImage and a cvbdatatype_t of 8 (Mono 8bpp).

Label	Value	Comment
Ignore	0	not part of calibration piece
Base	1	part of the base plane.
Top face	2	part of the top face.
Face 0°	3	part of 0° face (right)
Face 40°	4	part of 40° face (right/down)
Face 140°	5	part of 140° face (left/down)

Face 220°	7	part of 220° face (left/top)
Face 320°	8	part of 320° face (right/top)

Attention

The following constraints for the point cloud have to be met:

• The point cloud must be dense.
• The AQS12 may not be tilted. The xy plane must be parallel to the base plane of the AQS12.
• Disturbing background must be eliminated by setting these points to non-confident. You can create a calibrated dense point cloud with function CVC3DCreateCalibratedPointCloudFromRangeMap. Before creating the cloud, set the range map ignore value with function CVC3DCalibratorSetRangeMapIgnoreValue. All pixels with this value will be interpreted as non-confident.

Note

The region of interest must be selected on the grid of the dense point cloud. Left, top, right and bottom are indices for row and column.

[in]	Left	First column for region of interest in dense cloud.
[in]	Top	First row for region of interest in dense cloud.
[in]	Right	Last column for region of interest in dense cloud (inclusive).

[out]	Residuals	Optional pointer to 12 point array to contain the difference between the reference Points and the TransformationLaserPlaneInclination result; nullptr if not needed.

Returns

• CVC_ERROR(CVC_E_OK) on success
• CVC_ERROR(CVC_E_PARAMETER) if Points is nullptr or TopBasePlaneDistance or aoi is invalid.
• CVC_ERROR(CVC_E_WRONGOBJECT) if DenseCloud or Segmentor is invalid or DenseCloud is not dense.

		CVC3DCALIBRATOR &	Calibrator,

	)

Creates an intrinsic/extrinsic Calibrator from the given RangeMapImage of an AQS12 calibration piece.

This function expects a range map showing the AQS12 calibration piece in the following orientation:

The 12 Points are interpreted as indicated by the corner points above. As the points 7 to 12 are higher than the base plane, you need to give the TopBasePlaneDistance. The top plane is defined by the points 1 to 6.

The resulting Calibrator contains the intrinsic calibration as specified by Model and the extrinsic calibration based on the real world Points.

Note

If this function returns successfully you need to release the returned Calibrator via ReleaseObject if not needed anymore.

Attention

Only RangeMapImage objects up to four gigapixels are supported.

[out]	Calibrator	Variable to receive the newly created calibrator object.

Common Vision Blox 13.4

This function expects a range map showing the AQS12 calibration piece in the following orientation:
