Standardized 3D test object for multi-camera calibration during animal pose capture.

ABSTRACT: Accurate capture of animal behavior and posture requires the use of multiple cameras to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) representations. Typically, a paper ChArUco (or checker) board works well for correcting distortion and calibrating for 3D reconstruction in stereo vision. However, measuring the error in two-dimensional (2D) is also prone to bias related to the placement of the 2D board in 3D. We proposed a procedure as a visual way of validating camera placement, and it also can provide some guidance about the positioning of cameras and potential advantages of using multiple cameras. We propose the use of a 3D printable test object for validating multi-camera surround-view calibration in small animal video capture arenas. The proposed 3D printed object has no bias to a particular dim
