Calibration of external relation between imaging laser radar and camera
In order to determine the position parameters between an imaging laser radar and a camera and to establish the mapping relation between them
an improved calibration method was proposed based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and present calibration arithmetics. Firstly
the calibration principle was introduced
then the SVD was used to solve overdetermined equations to obtain the projective transformation matrixes of laser radar coordinates and camera coordinates. To reduce the influence of noise
the initial result was optimized with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Then
the calibration experiments were carried out with a 3D calibration object and the image fusion experiment was performed according to the calibration result to validate the improved calibration arithmetic. Experimental results indicate that the average calibration precision of the arithmetic is 13.33 m and the standard error is 7.49 m
which is doubled that of the original arithmetic. The precision of the improved calibration arithmetic can meet the requirement of image fusion.
