REAL-TIME INTER- AND INTRA- CAMERA COLOR MODELING AND CALIBRATION FOR RESOURCE CONSTRAINED ROBOTIC PLATFORMS

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to correct chromatic distortion within an image (vignetting) and to compensate for color response differences among similar cameras which equip a team of robots, based on Evolutionary Algorithms. Our black-box approach does not make assumptions concerning the physical/geometrical roots of the distortion, and the efficient implementation is suitable for real time applications on resource constrained platforms.
