Automated camera calibration (ACC): A python GUI application for automatically calculating camera intrinsics with Arri camera systems
Calibrating camera intrinsics to produce a camera model is an essential, time-consuming and labor-intensive process in virtual film production. Personnel with technical expertise and experience must make manual adjustments to lens configurations and perform repetitive image detection procedures. Since calibration needs to be performed multiple times across different system setups within tight time constraints, automating the process would reduce the time and cost of virtual film production. The Automated Camera Calibration (ACC) software was developed to automate lens adjustments on the most widely used camera system in film product, Arri, through motor-enabled camera components and conduct real-time image detection. Validation methods showed that ACC can complete camera calibration over three times faster than the popular Unreal Engine camera calibration method.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
