ESC: Evolutionary Stitched Camera Calibration in the Wild
This work introduces a novel end-to-end approach for estimating extrinsic parameters of cameras in multi-camera setups on real-life sports fields. We identify the source of significant calibration errors in multi-camera environments and address the limitations of existing calibration methods, particularly the disparity between theoretical models and actual sports field characteristics. We propose the Evolutionary Stitched Camera calibration (ESC) algorithm to bridge this gap. It consists of image segmentation followed by evolutionary optimization of a novel loss function, providing a unified and accurate multi-camera calibration solution with high visual fidelity. The outcome allows the creation of virtual stitched views from multiple video sources, being as important for practical applications as numerical accuracy. We demonstrate the superior performance of our approach compared to state-of-the-art methods across diverse real-life football fields with varying physical characteristics.

Stitching Videos from a Fisheye Lens Camera and a Wide-Angle Lens Camera for Telepresence Robots
Many telepresence robots are equipped with a forward-facing camera for video communication and a downward-facing camera for navigation. In this paper, we propose to stitch videos from the FF-camera with a wide-angle lens…
distortion correctionParameter Blending for Multi-Camera Harmonization for Automotive Surround View Systems
In a surround view system, the image color and tone captured by multiple cameras can be different due to cameras applying auto white balance (AWB), global tone mapping (GTM) individually for each camera. The color and br…

We present a practical solution for generating 360 degree stereo panoramic videos using a single camera. Current approaches either use a moving camera that captures multiple images of a scene, which are then stitched tog…
Depth EstimationSPEC: Seeing People in the Wild with an Estimated Camera
Due to the lack of camera parameter information for in-the-wild images, existing 3D human pose and shape (HPS) estimation methods make several simplifying assumptions: weak-perspective projection, large constant focal le…
