Volcanic Emission

SO2 cameras are able to measure rapid changes in volcanic emission rate but require accurate calibrations and corrections to convert optical depth images into slant column densities. We conducted a test at Masaya volcano of two SO2 camera calibration approaches, calibration cells and co-located spectrometer, and corrected both calibrations for light dilution, a process caused by light scattering between the plume and camera. We demonstrate an advancement on the image-based correction that allows the retrieval of the scattering efficiency across a 2D area of an SO2 camera image. When appropriately corrected for the dilution, we show that our two calibration approaches produce final calculated emission rates that agree with simultaneously measured traverse flux data and each other but highlight that the observed distribution of gas within the image is different. We demonstrate that traverses and SO2 camera techniques, when used together, generate better plume speed estimates for traverses and improved knowledge of wind direction for the camera, producing more reliable emission rates. We suggest combining traverses and the SO2 camera should be adopted where possible.

Partial Overlap

Knowledge of precise camera poses is vital for multi-camera setups. Camera intrinsics can be obtained for each camera separately in lab conditions. For fixed multi-camera setups, the extrinsic calibration can only be done in situ. Usually, some markers are used, like checkerboards, requiring some level of overlap between cameras. In this work, we propose a method for cases with little or no overlap. Laser lines are projected on a plane (e.g., floor or wall) using a laser line projector. The pose of the plane and cameras is then optimized using bundle adjustment to match the lines seen by the cameras. To find the extrinsic calibration, only a partial overlap between the laser lines and the field of view of the cameras is needed. Real-world experiments were conducted both with and without overlapping fields of view, resulting in rotation errors below 0.5°. We show that the accuracy is comparable to other state-of-the-art methods while offering a more practical procedure. The method can also be used in large-scale applications and can be fully automated.

The perspective 3-point (P3P) problem, also known as pose estimation, has its origins in camera calibration and is of importance in many fields: for example, computer animation, automation, image analysis, and robotics. One possibility is to formulate it mathematically in terms of finding the solution to a quartic equation. However, there is yet no quantitative knowledge as to how control-point spacing affects the solution structure—in particular, the multisolution phenomenon. Here, we consider this problem through an algebraic analysis of the quartic’s coefficients and its discriminant and find that there are significant variations in the likelihood of two or four solutions, depending on how the spacing is chosen. The analysis indicates that although it is never possible to remove the occurrence of the four-solution case completely, it could be possible to choose spacings that would maximize the occurrence of two real solutions. Moreover, control-point spacing is found to impact significantly on the reality conditions for the solution of the quartic equation.
