Using Inertial Measurements to Aid in Camera Intrinsic Parameter Estimation

A. Mamatas, A. Mohamed, A. Soloviev

Abstract:	We discuss methods of recovering camera intrinsic parameters from knowledge of relative motions between imaging stations in the case of a synthetic stereo platform through controlled motions of the rig. The use of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is presented as an aid in recovering focal length and principal point offset is shown along with the effects of measurement noise and derived relative position and orientation errors. Simulations are conducted to study the behavior of the recovery method under various camera motions.
