A technique of camera calibration using single view

Abstract

This paper proposes a technique of camera calibration to calibrate a camera. It is easy for the proposed technique to extract the camera parameters with only one image using an iteration method. In this paper, radial and tangential lens distortion is modeled. The proposed technique divides original parameters into block of parameters. Each block of parameters is computed by minimizing a nonlinear error function after the intermediate parameters are linearly computed on each iteration. The formal distorted images and the distorted images with shifted principal point have been used to test the proposed technique and the conventional method. As the result, we have obtained good results. © 2011 ICROS.
