Quantitative Calibration of 3D Depth Sensors The goal of this project is to improve the intrinsic
calibration and to
reduce the depth distance error of real-time 3-D imaging
sensors such as
Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras. Many applications of depth
sensors in 3-D
scene analysis require data with a reliable absolute
accuracy. For instance
gesture recognition, collision prevention and medical
imaging applications
like patient positioning, respiratory motion detection or
quantitative
endoscopy. By the last one, the classical endoscopy is
extended for an
intraoperative 3-D endoscopy as the ToF imaging mode
provides quantitative
surface data in addition to 2-D color imaging. The
theoretical feasibility
and benefits of many applications in this domain has been
demonstrated, but
their practical realization requires a deeper insight into
the causes of
different measurement artifacts and the development of
advanced
quantitative calibration technique
