Systems and Methods for Camera Calibration via Dual-Mode Mats - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18072534 titled 'Systems and Methods for Camera Calibration via Dual-Mode Mats
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for systems and methods for calibrating a camera using a calibration system. The system includes a mat, a camera, and a controller. The controller configures the mat to operate in an illumination mode where LEDs form an illumination pattern, which is captured by the camera. The controller then analyzes the image data to derive heading data for the camera and sets the camera heading data accordingly.
- The system includes a mat, camera, and controller.
- The mat energizes LEDs to form an illumination pattern.
- The camera captures the illumination pattern.
- The controller analyzes the image data to derive heading data for the camera.
- The camera heading data is set based on the derived heading data.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as:
- Computer vision
- Robotics
- Augmented reality
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Ensuring accurate calibration of cameras
- Improving image quality
- Enhancing the performance of computer vision systems
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
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.
