In general, video see-through based augmented reality (AR) cannot change the
magnification of camera zooming parameter due to the difficulty of dealing
with changes in intrinsic camera parameters. To realize the usage of camera
zooming in AR, we propose a novel simultaneous intrinsic and extrinsic camera
parameter estimation method based on an energy minimization framework. Our
method is composed of the online and offline stages. An intrinsic camera
parameter change depending on the zoom values is calibrated in the offline
stage. Intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters are then estimated based on
the energy minimization framework in the online stage. In our method, two
energy terms are added to the conventional marker-based camera parameter
estimation method. One is reprojection errors based on the epipolar
constraint. The other is the constraint of continuity of zoom values. By
using a novel energy function, our method can estimate accurate intrinsic and
extrinsic camera parameters. In an experiment, we confirmed that the proposed
method can achieve accurate camera parameter estimation during camera
zooming.
