Calibration Error Calibration Error for Tamron 28-300 mm Lens • Reprojection error of calibration points is relatively small and less then the error obtained with wide angle and fisheye lenses. • Pixel error in both x an y direction are better than using OpenCV method Calibration Error for Other Lenses
Calibration Results • Principal point estimation Reason for the shift in the principal point is the misalignment of the optical components found in the lens. The position and orientation of the lens components are changed by adjusting the focus and zoom. (1-28mm, 2-100mm, 3-200mm, 4-300mm)
Calibration Results • Principal point estimation using OpenCV calibration method (1-28mm, 2-100mm, 3-200mm, 4-300mm)
Calibration Results • Center of distortion estimation with Hartley/Kang method using epipolar geometry constraints (1-28mm, 2-100mm, 3-200mm, 4-300mm)
Focal Length Estimation Results Using IRIS Implementation Results Using OpenCV * Focal length % error is placed only for reference. Focal length measured by the camera calibration may be different from focal length specified by the manufacturer.
Results with Varied Focus (focus setting: 1-2.5m, 2-4m, 3-5m)
Zoom Lens Calibration • If we look only at the reprojection error then the performance of the calibration method is very good • If we consider the actual extraction of camera parameters, the estimated parameters are more erroneous at larger focal length settings • It is difficult to determine at what focal length setting calibration fails due to coupling of different lens settings • Future work will be to find reasons for the error in the parameter estimation and comparing the performance of other methods on the obtained data set.
