Abstract:
Multiple cameras are coupled to a camera rig. Multiple diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are coupled to a DOE prop. Each camera is positioned in an eye box of a DOE and takes an image when the cameras are positioned at a first position, a second position and a third position relative to the DOEs. Three images taken by a each camera at each one of the first position, the second position and third position. The images are transmitted to a processor coupled to the camera rig. For each image, the processor identifies data pairs, each data pair including pixel coordinates of an intensity peak in the image and virtual light source produced by the diffractive optical element that corresponds to the intensity peak, and determines extrinsic parameters of the cameras using the identified data pairs for each image.
