Efficient Radial Distortion Correction for Planar Motion

Marcus Valtonen Örnhag

Abstract: In this paper we investigate simultaneous radial distortion calibration and motion estimation for vehicles travelling parallel to planar surfaces. This is done by estimating the inter-image homography between two poses, as well as the distortion parameter. Radial distortion correction is often performed as a pre-calibration step; however, accurately estimating the distortion profile without special scene requirements may make such procedures obsolete. As many modern day consumer cameras are affected by radial distortion to some degree, there is a great potential to reduce production time, if properly implemented.
