  1. Camera Calibration • In the field of machine vision, camera calibration refers to the experimental determination of a set of parameters which describe the image formation process for a given analytical model of the machine vision system. • Ideally, camera calibration is performed without specialized optical equipment, without modifications to the hardware, and without a priori knowledge of the vision system. • Most calibration techniques are based on the observation of planar (2D) targets with a large number of control points.

  2. Camera Calibration • Camera Calibration is critical in many machine vision applications: • Photogrammetry: determining geometric properties of objects from photographic image • Stereoscopy: determining the 3D coordinates of points of an object taken from two different positions • Dimensional metrology: the science of calibrating and using physical measurement equipment to quantify the physical size of or distance from any given object • Multisensor Image fusion: the process of combining relevant information from two or more images into a single image • Robotics, navigation, reverse engineering Memorial University of Newfoundland

  6. Camera Calibration • The machine vision parameters which must be identified include: • The scale factor (negligible on solid-state cameras) • The principal point (i.e., the coordinates of the image center) • The skew coefficients (negligible?) • The effective focal length of the lens-camera assembly • The radial and tangential lens distortion coefficients • The pose (position and orientation) of the camera • Parameters a) through d) are classified as intrinsic, e) as extrinsic.
