Multi-view ToF Fusion for Object Detection in Industrial Applications

Abstract

The use of time-of-flight (ToF) cameras in industrial applications has become increasingly popular due to the camera’s reduced cost and its ability to provide real-time depth information. Still, one of the main drawbacks of these cameras has been their limited field of view. We therefore propose a technique to fuse the views of multiple ToF cameras. By mounting two cameras side by side and pointing them away from each other, the horizontal field of view can be artificially extended. The combined views can then be used for object detection. The main advantages of our technique is that the calibration is fully automatic and only one shot of the calibration target is needed. Furthermore, no overlap between the views is required.
