Calibration of the stereovision panoramic sensor

The Panoramic stereovision sensor introduced in the last chapter is based on two rotating linear cameras. This chapter deals with the calibration of a stereo head composed of two linear cameras. Though the calibration of CCD matrix cameras has received a lot of attention, few methods of calibration of linear CCD are described [111, 68, 23]. The following parts are organized as follows. The first part presents a calibration method of the panoramic stereovision sensor using a classical sketch of calibration. The second part introduces a more unusual calibration method based on normalized vectors to express points appearing in the scene.
