Abstract

Zoom lens camera calibration is an important and difficult problem for two reasons at least. First, the intrinsic parameters of such a camera change over time, it is difficult to calibrate them on-line. Secondly, the pin-hole model for single lens system can not be applied directly to a zoom lens system. In this paper, we address some aspects of this problem, such as determining principal point by zooming, modeling and calibration of lens distortion and focal length, as well as some practical aspects. Experimental results on calibrating cameras with computer controlled zoom, focus and aperture are presented.

Robust metric calibration of non-linear camera lens distortion

Camera lens distortion is crucial to obtain the best performance cameral model. Up to now, different techniques exist, which try to minimize the calibration error using different lens distortion models or computing them in different ways. Some compute ...
A Generic Camera Model and Calibration Method for Conventional, Wide-Angle, and Fish-Eye Lenses

Fish-eye lenses are convenient in such applications where a very wide angle of view is needed, but their use for measurement purposes has been limited by the lack of an accurate, generic, and easy-to-use calibration procedure. We hence propose a generic ...
Generalized Camera Calibration Including Fish-Eye Lenses

A method is described for accurately calibrating cameras including radial lens distortion, by using known points such as those measured from a calibration fixture. Both the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters are calibrated in a single least-squares ...
