Abstract

This paper presents a novel method to estimate the relative poses between RGB-D cameras with minimal overlapping fields of view. This calibration problem is relevant to applications such as indoor 3D mapping and robot navigation that can benefit from a wider field of view using multiple RGB-D cameras. The proposed approach relies on descriptor-based patterns to provide well-matched 2D keypoints in the case of a minimal overlapping field of view between cameras. Integrating the matched 2D keypoints with corresponding depth values, a set of 3D matched keypoints are constructed to calibrate multiple RGB-D cameras. Experiments validated the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed calibration approach.
