An easy and high-precision camera calibration method based on planar five points
A simpler 5-point calibration algorithm was proposed to further improve the accuracy of camera parameter and simplify the calibration process
on the basis of Zhang Zhengyou's plane calibration algorithm. In this method
a rectangle was used to serve as a calibration template and the four angular points and central point were selected as the points to be matched. All internal and external parameters could be solved with only 10 (10-20 all were ok) images shot in different angles. First
to decrease the influence of data on result
normalization shall be carried out for image coordinates of five points obtained
where the coordinate of point shall be controlled within the circle with the origin as the center and
because it didn't consider distortion in imaging model of camera but considered that there might have been zero element in homography
caculation was solved in accordance with 9 degrees of freedom; again
the internal and external parameters of camera were caculated and the value of non-zero divisor
λ
was the mean of result acquired; finally
global optimization for internal and external parameters was carried out with Levenberg-Marquarat (LM) algorithm. Through simulation test with different levels of noise and test of true image
the accuracy of this algorithm is higher than Zhang Zhengyou's checkerboard algorithm.
