TY - CHAP A1 - Lindner, Marvin A1 - Kolb, Andreas A1 - Ringbeck, Thorsten T1 - New insights into the calibration of ToF-sensors T2 - 2008 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition workshops : Anchorage, AK, 23 - 28 June 2008 N2 - Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors have become an alternative to conventional distance sensing techniques like laser scanners or image based stereo. ToF sensors provide full range distance information at high frame-rates and thus have a significant impact onto current research in areas like online object recognition, collision prevention or scene reconstruction. However, ToF cameras like the photonic mixer device (PMD) still exhibit a number of challenges regarding static and dynamic effects, e.g. systematic distance errors and motion artefacts, respectively. Sensor calibration techniques reducing static system errors have been proposed and show promising results. However, current calibration techniques in general need a large set of reference data in order to determine the corresponding parameters for the calibration model. This paper introduces a new calibration approach which combines different demodulation techniques for the ToF- camera 's reference signal. Examples show, that the resulting combined demodulation technique yields improved distance values based on only two required reference data sets.
