Abstract

This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating the relative translation and orientation of an inertial measurement unit and a spherical camera, which are rigidly connected. The key is to realize that this problem is in fact an instance of a standard problem within the area of system identification, referred to as a gray-box problem. We propose a new algorithm for estimating the relative translation and orientation, which does not require any additional hardware, except a piece of paper with a checkerboard pattern on it. The experimental results show that the method works well in practice.
