Abstract: The present invention discloses a multispectral camera external parameter self-calibration algorithm based on edge features, and belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision. Because a visible light camera and an infrared camera belong to different modes, fewer satisfactory point pairs are obtained by directly extracting and matching feature points. In order to solve the problem, the method starts from the edge features, and finds an optimal corresponding position of an infrared image on a visible light image through edge extraction and matching. In this way, a search range is reduced and the number of the satisfactory matched point pairs is increased, thereby more effectively conducting joint self-calibration on the infrared camera and the visible light camera. The operation is simple and results are accurate.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision, and discloses an acceleration method of depth estimation for multiband stereo cameras. In the process of depth estimation, during binocular stereo matching in each band, through compression of matched images, on one hand, disparity equipotential errors caused by binocular image correction can be offset to make the matching more accurate, and on the other hand, calculation overhead is reduced. In addition, before cost aggregation, cost diagrams are transversely compressed and sparsely matched, thereby reducing the calculation overhead again. Disparity diagrams obtained under different modes are fused to obtain all-weather, more complete and more accurate depth information.
