Abstract

This paper explains the principle and method to calibrate the image plane center of the camera by use of laser in the pre-calibrate process of the intrinsic parameters of the visual sensor. The laser facula image has been disposed properly, so the accurate position has been located by calculating the center of mass. Consequently, the image plane center can be calibrated accurately. After the calibration, the guiding experiments show that the precision of the system is quite good which proves that camera calibrated by the method presented by this paper can satisfy the requirement of the whole system
