Abstract

With digital cameras coming into wide-spread use and the intelligence in application system increasingly growing, 3D reconstruction has become an essential part of the vision system. For the sake of achieving it, geometric camera calibration in the context of three-dimensional machine vision must be performed firstly to determine a set of parameters that describe the mapping between 3-D reference coordinates and 2-D image coordinates. In the typical classic method with high calculation accuracy and strong robustness, however, little attention has been paid to initial values of distortion coefficients, and model constraints that make results global optimal. In this paper, we present an improved algorithm based on the traditional calibration method. First, determine exact homography matrices by RANSAC algorithm to reject more error points, solve the initial values of distortion with distortion model, and then constrain the image coordinates of feature points in line by straight lines. Finally, the whole optimized parameters, the suppression of re-projection errors, and the calibration parameters with higher precision are obtained. It becomes a prerequisite for the realization of image fusion and the wide application of computer vision in the field of 3D reconstruction.
