Abstract

Three-dimensional analysis of the aurora which is an atmospheric phenomenon is significant because the shape of aurora reflects the electromagnetic relationship between the Earth and the Sun, which can influence electric equipments such as satellites. To analyze a number of auroras, our research group set two fish-eye cameras in Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR), Alaska [Kataoka et al. 2013]. However, shape reconstruction of aurora from a pair of stereo images is highly difficult problem because corresponding points are hard to detect automatically due to its transparency and nonrigidity. In this paper, a methodology of 3D-measurement of aurora and visualization of its shape from a pair of stereo images is proposed.

A Generic Camera Model and Calibration Method for Conventional, Wide-Angle, and Fish-Eye Lenses

Fish-eye lenses are convenient in such applications where a very wide angle of view is needed, but their use for measurement purposes has been limited by the lack of an accurate, generic, and easy-to-use calibration procedure. We hence propose a generic ...
