Description

image_to_world_planeimage_to_world_planeImageToWorldPlaneImageToWorldPlaneimage_to_world_plane rectifies an image ImageImageImageimageimage by transforming it into the plane z=0 (plane of measurements) in a world coordinate system. The resulting rectified image ImageWorldImageWorldImageWorldimageWorldimage_world shows neither radial nor perspective distortions; it corresponds to an image acquired by a distortion-free camera that looks perpendicularly onto the plane of measurements. The world coordinate system is chosen by passing its 3D pose relative to the camera coordinate system in WorldPoseWorldPoseWorldPoseworldPoseworld_pose. Hence, latter one is expected in the form , where ccs denotes the camera coordinate system and wcs the world coordinate system (see Transformations / Poses and “Solution Guide III-C - 3D Vision”). In CameraParamCameraParamCameraParamcameraParamcamera_param you must pass the internal camera parameters (see Calibration for the sequence of the parameters and the underlying camera model).

In many cases CameraParamCameraParamCameraParamcameraParamcamera_param and WorldPoseWorldPoseWorldPoseworldPoseworld_pose are the result of calibrating the camera with the operator calibrate_camerascalibrate_camerasCalibrateCamerasCalibrateCamerascalibrate_cameras. See below for an example.

The pixel position of the upper left corner of the output image ImageWorldImageWorldImageWorldimageWorldimage_world is determined by the origin of the world coordinate system. The size of the output image ImageWorldImageWorldImageWorldimageWorldimage_world can be chosen by the parameters WidthWidthWidthwidthwidth, HeightHeightHeightheightheight, and ScaleScaleScalescalescale. WidthWidthWidthwidthwidth and HeightHeightHeightheightheight must be given in pixels.

The parameter ScaleScaleScalescalescale can be used to specify the size of a pixel in the transformed image. There are two ways to use this parameter:

Scale pixels to metric units:

Scale the image such that one pixel in the transformed image corresponds to a metric unit, e.g., setting 'mm'"mm""mm""mm""mm" determines that a pixel in the transformed image corresponds to the area 1mm x 1mm in the plane of measurements. For this, the original unit needs to be meters. This is the case if you use a standard calibration plate.

List of values: 'm'"m""m""m""m", 'cm'"cm""cm""cm""cm", 'mm'"mm""mm""mm""mm", 'microns'"microns""microns""microns""microns", 'um'"um""um""um""um".

Default: 'm'"m""m""m""m".

Control scaling manually:

Scale the image by giving a number that determines the ratio of original unit length / desired number of pixels. E.g., if your original unit is meters and you want every pixel of your transformed image to represent 3mm x 3mm of the measuring plane, your scale is calculated . If you want to perform a task like shape-based matching on your transformed image, it is useful to scale the image such that its content appears in a size similar to the original image.

Restriction: ScaleScaleScalescalescale > 0.

The parameter InterpolationInterpolationInterpolationinterpolationinterpolation specifies, whether bilinear interpolation ('bilinear'"bilinear""bilinear""bilinear""bilinear") should be applied between the pixels in the input image or whether the gray value of the nearest neighboring pixel ('nearest_neighbor'"nearest_neighbor""nearest_neighbor""nearest_neighbor""nearest_neighbor") should be used.

If several images have to be rectified using the same parameters, gen_image_to_world_plane_mapgen_image_to_world_plane_mapGenImageToWorldPlaneMapGenImageToWorldPlaneMapgen_image_to_world_plane_map in combination with map_imagemap_imageMapImageMapImagemap_image is much more efficient than the operator image_to_world_planeimage_to_world_planeImageToWorldPlaneImageToWorldPlaneimage_to_world_plane because the mapping function needs to be computed only once.

Attention

image_to_world_planeimage_to_world_planeImageToWorldPlaneImageToWorldPlaneimage_to_world_plane can be executed on OpenCL devices if the input image does not exceed the maximum size of image objects of the selected device. There can be slight differences in the output compared to the execution on the CPU.

Execution Information

  • Supports OpenCL compute devices.
  • Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
  • Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
  • Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
