Institute of Communications and Navigation of German Aerospace Center (Oberpfaffenhofen) is looking for a motivated Master student for "fisheye camera calibration and its error analysis".Your Mission:We are developing new reliable navigation systems within the framework of various projects for autonomous Urban Air Mobility (UAM). The vehicles generally operate in urban environments where highly accurate navigation is required, but the performance of satellite navigation can be degraded due to local effects. Therefore, we are developing camera-based localization to support safe takeoff/landing at vertiports.For visual localization tasks, accurate camera calibration is an essential step since the error in camera intrinsic parameters is propagated to the pose estimation error. Although various state-of-the-art camera calibration methods are already available to the users, the camera intrinsic parameters estimated using the methods include unavoidable residual errors. It is important to appropriately model this error in order to reduce the integrity risks of vehicles operating for safety critical applications, as well as to improve the certifiability of vision-based navigation.
