Research on Verification Method of OpenGL Simulated Image Based on Camera Calibration

Abstract:

OpenGL can correctly simulate real photogrammetric imaging by setting reasonable parameters. It’s an important tool to achieve the simulation of real three-dimensional object or scene imaging to two-dimensional CCD (Charge-coupled Device) plane. However, the images are lack of reliability verify. To solve this problem, we propose a method that can verify OpenGL simulated images on the basis of analyzing OpenGL image-forming principle. Firstly, the checkerboard images of different positions are taken by real camera and intrinsic and external parameters are calibrated. Subsequently, we use OpenGL to produce the same intrinsic and external parameters of checkerboard image by setting correct parameters. Finally, the simulated and real images’ matching point pair RMSE value is calculated based on Harris operator. By comparison, the validity and reliability of OpenGL simulated images are verified by some numerical simulation.
