Bachelor Thesis - Benchmarking Reconstruction Pipelines for Camera-to-Camera Calibration (m/f/d)

Full-time

Software Engineering

Introductory information

This thesis compares classical and learning-based 3D reconstruction pipelines for camera-to-camera extrinsic calibration on vehicle data. COLMAP will serve as the classical baseline, while selected learned reconstruction methods can be evaluated as alternatives. The goal is to identify which methods are suitable for different camera setups, environments, and recording conditions.

Your Role

• Prepare controlled calibration recordings and real-world vehicle datasets for evaluation.
• Run COLMAP and selected learned reconstruction pipelines.
• Compare calibration accuracy, robustness, and failure cases.
• Analyze the influence of texture, camera overlap, lighting, and dynamic objects.
• Document practical limitations and provide recommendations for future calibration workflows.

At a minimum we’d like you to have

• Good programming skills in Python.
• Interest in computer vision and automated driving.
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
• Basic understanding of cameras and image processing.

It’s preferred if you have

• First experience with COLMAP or similar 3D reconstruction tools.
• Interest in experimental evaluation and benchmarking.
• Basic knowledge of camera calibration or 3D reconstruction.
