  1. Cameras Course web page: vision.cis.udel.edu/cv March 22, 2003 Lecture 16

  2. Announcements • Read Forsyth & Ponce, Chapter 3-3.3 on camera calibration for Monday • HW3: Some image sizes have been reduced and you don’t have to try as many window sizes

  3. Outline • Lenses • Discretization effects of image capture

  4. Ideal Pinhole Camera from Forsyth & Ponce Each point on the image plane collects light along one ray from the scene

  5. Real Pinhole Cameras • Problems • Pinholes don’t let through much light ! Dimness/exposure time trade-off • A bigger hole (aka aperture) means that each image point sees a disk of scene points, whose contributions are averaged ! Blurring • Very small apertures introduce diffraction effects from Forsyth & Ponce

  6. Hole too big: Blurring Hole too small: Diffraction from Forsyth & Ponce Real pinhole camera images

  7. Lenses • Benefits: Increase light-gathering power by focusing bundles of rays from scene points onto image points from Forsyth & Ponce

  9. courtesy of Wolfram Snell’s Law • The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is given by:

  10. divergence convergence Snell’s Law: Implications • Since µ/sinµ over the range [0, ¼/2] and the angle of refraction is given by we can infer the following from their IORs: n1<n2)µ2<µ1 and n1>n2)µ2>µ1 Son1<n2 in this image courtesy of Wolfram

  11. Converging Light Rays n1 n2 n1<n2

  14. Focusing Light with Prisms: Many Beams courtesy of S. Majewski Light rays intersecting the prisms at different locations have different angles of incidence and thus wind up with different focal points

  15. Lenses as Compound Prisms courtesy of S. Majewski We can get the light rays to have a common focus by gradually widening the effective apex angle as we get farther from the center of the lens

  21. Thin Lens Model from Forsyth & Ponce

  22. Depth of Field • The thin lens equation implies that scene points at different distances from the lens are in focus at different image distances • Only a given range of object distances produce acceptable sharpness

  23. Field of View from Forsyth & Ponce FOV is defined as 2Á, where Á = tan-1d/2f

  24. Lens Problems • Limited depth of field • Radial, tangential distortion: Straight lines curved • Vignetting: Image darker at edges • Spherical aberration • Chromatic aberration: Focal length function of wavelength

  25. Radial Distortion

  26. Vignetting

  27. Analog  Digital • Sampling  Aliasing • Quantization  Banding • Limited dynamic range  Saturation • Temporal integration  Motion blur • Noise 1/30th sec. exposure

  28. Sampling • Limited spatial resolution of capture devices results in visual artifacts (i.e., aliasing) • Nyquist theorem: Must sample 2x highest frequency component of signal to reconstruct adequately
