Overview
欢迎访问 持续更新:https://cgabc.xyz/posts/db22c2e6/
ethz-asl/kalibr is a toolbox that solves the following calibration problems:
- Multiple camera calibration: intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of a camera-systems with non-globally shared overlapping fields of view
- Camera-IMU calibration: spatial and temporal calibration of an IMU w.r.t a camera-system
- Rolling Shutter Camera calibration: full intrinsic calibration (projection, distortion and shutter parameters) of rolling shutter cameras
本文以 单目+IMU 和 双目+IMU 为例,讲解使用 Kalibr工具 标定 Camera-IMU,其中使用的摄像头分别为 Realsense ZR300 和 MYNT-EYE S系列摄像头。
注意:本文用于学习kalibr标定过程,文中结果仅供参考。
1. 标定 Camera
采集 images
注意: 采集图像时,帧率控制在4帧左右
-
单目
rosbag record /camera/fisheye/image_raw -O images.bag
-
双目
rosbag record /stereo/left/image_raw /stereo/right/image_raw -O images.bag
标定 Camera
-
单目
kalibr_calibrate_cameras \ --target april_6x6_24x24mm.yaml \ --bag images.bag --bag-from-to 5 20 \ --models pinhole-fov \ --topics /camera/fisheye/image_raw
-
双目
kalibr_calibrate_cameras \ --target april_6x6_24x24mm.yaml \ --bag images.bag --bag-from-to 5 30 \ --models pinhole-radtan pinhole-radtan \ --topics /stereo/left/image_raw /stereo/right/image_raw
标定评估
重投影误差在 0.1~0.2 以内,标定结果较好,如下所示。

2. 标定 IMU
- imu_utils: A ROS package tool to analyze the IMU performance, C++ version of Allan Variance Tool.
采集 IMU 数据
- collect the data while the IMU is Stationary, with a two hours duration
rosbag record /camera/imu/data_raw -O imu.bag
标定 IMU
rosbag play -r 200 imu.bag
roslaunch imu_utils ZR300.launch
ZR300.launch 文件内容
<launch>
<node pkg="imu_utils" type="imu_an" name="imu_an" output="screen">
