Genetic Optimized BP Network Method for Camera Calibration in Binocular Vision

Abstract:

Camera calibration is the first step of positioning using binocular vision. Owning to the approximation capability of the neural network, a complex mathematical model needed by traditional calibration methods can be avoided. However the general neural network methods have their drawbacks to reduce its accuracy. This paper presents searching algorithm for the best structure and parameters of a neural network using an improved genetic algorithm (GA). The experiments show that this method can be used to establish a mapping between 2D coordinates and 3D coordinates directly and accurately, which is better than traditional calibration and general BP network methods.
