Method and apparatus for compensating for camera error in a multi-camera stereo camera system

An information handling system comprising:

• a plurality of digital cameras for recording raw images for consolidation into a plural image frame, wherein the plural image frame is a composite image based on blending at least a portion of a plurality of raw images consolidated to form the plural image frame;
• the processor operatively coupled to the plurality of digital cameras for processing plural imaging functions via execution of instructions for a multi-view stereo imaging system;
• a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory for storing the plural image frame;
• the processor executing instructions for a multi-camera error compensating system to conduct dynamic detection of calibration loss of at least one digital camera via periodic assessment of plural image frames for deviation from expected behavior from a pre-existing calibration operation level;
• the multi-camera error compensating system conducting dynamic recalibration of plural image calibration parameters for future processing of plural images based on at least one assessed plural image frame and in response to detection of calibration loss;
• and
• the processor interrupting use of the plural image frame in processing the plural image when calibration loss is determined.

A method for multi-camera error compensation comprising:

• recording a plurality of raw images via a plurality of digital cameras;
• consolidating the plurality of raw images into a plural image frame, wherein the plural image frame is a composite image based on at least a portion of the plurality of raw images;
• processing, via a processor executing instructions for a multi-view stereo imaging system, the plural image frame from the raw images captured by the plurality of digital cameras;
• storing the plural image frame in a memory;
• dynamically detecting calibration loss of at least one digital camera via the processor executing instructions for a multi-camera error compensating system via periodic assessment of plural image frames for deviation from expected behavior from a pre-existing calibration operation level;
• executing dynamic recalibration of plural image calibration parameters for future processing of plural images based on at least one assessed plural image frame and in response to detection of calibration loss;
• and
• the processor interrupting use of the plural image frame in processing the plural image when calibration loss is determined.
