Visualizing Single-Camera Reprojection Errors Using Diffusion

Paper i proceeding, 2015

This paper reports on early-stage research into using dynamic scale-space representation of image point reprojection error data obtained during calibration of a single camera. In particular, we employ time-dependent simulation of the heat equation, diffusing the point reprojection errors over the entire image plane. Initial experiments show the expected effect of an originally large number of point reprojection error measurements being coalesced into a smaller number of relatively larger regions. We round off the paper by presenting ongoing work aiming to exploit the time-progression of simulations to convey further information and thereby assisting manual visual analysis.
