Abstract
A system includes cameras; a rotating stage, which has an axis of rotation; one or more computer-readable media; and one or more processors that are coupled to the one or more computer-readable media, the rotating state, and the cameras. Also, the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to control the cameras to capture respective images of a calibration target in a first pose, wherein the calibration target is mounted on the rotating stage; control the rotating stage to rotate through a predetermined angular increment to a second pose; control the cameras to capture respective images of the calibration target in the second pose; and calculate a transformation between two of the cameras based on the respective images of the calibration target in the first pose, on the respective images of the calibration target in the second pose, and on the predetermined angular increment.
