Abstract

A multi-camera system is widely used for determining the poses of large objects in practice. This paper thus makes contributions to applying multi-camera systems with high accuracy and efficiency to industries, such as automotive and logistics. Some valuable approaches - pattern weight, zero measurement, pattern compensation and camera pose on-line recalibration, to solve the practical issues are therefore brought forward. These approaches have been proved to be able to improve greatly the performances of a multi-camera system in industrial applications.
