Abstract

Camera calibration is a fundamental task in photogrammetry and computer vision. In view of the requirements in live camera characteristics, we present a novel calibration approach to obtain all the camera optimal parameters and the distortion rectification by using only a single image. The existing automatic calibration approaches inspired by the vanishing point theory or the homography matrix are not capable of entirely deal with the internal, external and the len distortion parameters simultaneously. Compared to the previous works, our approach solves the problem by applying the linear features extracted from the image and thus improves the accuracy and efficiency. Results of experiments in different scenes demonstrate the comparable performance to the traditional methods.
