Generalized Image Acquisition and Analysis
Synchronization and Rolling Shutter Compensation for Consumer Video Camera Arrays
Two major obstacles to the use of consumer camcorders in computer vision applications are the lack of synchronization hardware, and the use of a "rolling" shutter, which introduces a temporal shear in the video volume. We present two simple approaches for solving both the rolling shutter shear and the synchronization problem at the same time. The first approach is based on strobe illumination, while the second employs a subframe warp along optical flow vectors. In our experiments we have used the proposed methods to effectively remove temporal shear, and synchronize up to 16 consumer-grade camcorders in multiple geometric configurations.

A Mathematical Model and Calibration Procedure for Galvanometric Laser Scanning Systems
In: Vision, Modeling, and Visualization (VMV 2011)
Abstract
Laser galvanometric scanning systems are commonly used in various fields such as three dimensional scanning,
medical imaging, material processing, measurement devices and laser display systems. The systems of such kind
suffer from distortions. On top of that they do not have a center of projection, which makes it impossible to use
common projector calibration procedures. The paper presents a novel mathematical model to predict the image
distortions caused by galvanometric mirror scanning systems. In addition, we describe a calibration procedure
for recovering its intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.
