US 2024/0177345 A1 · Systems and Methods for Camera Calibration via Dual-Mode Mats

Abstract

Systems and methods for calibrating a camera using a calibration system are provided. The calibration system includes a mat, a camera, and a controller. The systems and methods include the controller configuring the mat to operation in an illumination mode in which the mat energizes one or more LEDs to form an illumination pattern. The controller receives image data generated by the camera that features the illumination pattern. The controller analyzes the image data to derive heading data for the camera and sets the camera heading data to be the derived heading data.

Dependent claims

A system for calibrating a camera, comprising

a mat;
a camera having first heading data and a field of view featuring the mat;
and
a controller coupled to the mat, and the camera, the controller being configured to perform a calibration routine to calibrate the camera comprising:
controlling the mat to energize one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) to generate an illumination pattern,
receiving image data captured by the camera that features the illumination pattern,
deriving second heading data based on a relative position of the camera and the mat and a relative position of the illumination pattern within the image data;
and
setting the first heading data of the camera to the second heading data.
