Mono,Stereo Camera-LiDAR Calibration README

A curated list of instructions

This is the Camera-LiDAR calibration master thesis project.
Contains:

• Mono and Stereo camera calibration
• Camera-based 3D reconstruction
• Camera-LiDAR extrinsic calibration
• Camera-LiDAR occlusion handling
• Sensors synchronisation and fusion

Use 3D car models

3D car models are available under /car_models_json folder.

Usage

import json
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import glob
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#change the path here
files = glob.glob('/car_models_json/*leikesasi.json')
file = files[0]
plt.figure(figsize=(20, 10))
ax = plt.axes(projection='3d')
scale = 5
with open(file) as json_file:
     data = json.load(json_file)
     print(data.keys()) #  (['car_type', 'vertices', 'faces']
     vertices = np.array(data['vertices'])
     triangles = np.array(data['faces']) - 1
     print('vertices -> {},  triangles->{}'.format(np.shape(vertices), np.shape(triangles)))
     ax.set_xlim([-15, 15])
     ax.set_ylim([-15, 15])
     ax.set_zlim([-1, 15])
     ax.plot_trisurf(vertices[:, 0], vertices[:, 2], triangles[:], -vertices[:, 1], shade=True,
                        color='grey', alpha=.2)
plt.show()

Camera-LiDAR extrinsic calibration

• Data collection, & pointcloud filtering using RANSAC, see cam_lidar_data.py
• Extract point cloud correspondences - see Fit_Points.py script, collect 3D-2D and 3D-3D data points. Estimate transformation between LiDAR-image pixels and LiDAR-3d stereo points.
• see synchronization.py for camera-Lidar synchronization and fusion

Mono and Stereo camera calibration & 3D reconstruction

• Mono camera calibration using chessboard, see MonoChess.py, example how to run main.py Chess_MonoCalibration() function.

• Mono camera calibration using ChAruco, see MonoCharuo.py, example how to run main.py Charuco_MonoCalibration() function.

• Stereo camera calibration using chessboard, see StereoChess.py, example how to run main.py Chess_StereoCalibration() function.

• Stereo camera calibration using ChAruco, see StereoChess.py, example how to run main.py Charuco_MonoCalibration() function.

• 3D reconstruction using points collected with ChAruco + chessboard, see Charuco_Chess_combine.py script, example to run see combinedChess_and_Charuco() function in the main.py script
