We present a camera calibration method based on circle plane board. The centres of circles on plane are regarded as the characteristic points, which are used to implement camera calibration. The proposed calibration is more accurate than many previous calibration algorithm because of the merit of the coordinate of circle centre being obtained from thousand of of edge pionts of ellipse, which is very reliable to image noise caused by edge extraction algorithm. Experiments shows the proposed algorithm can obtain high precise inner parameters, and lens distortion parameters.

In intelligent vehicles, extrinsic camera calibration is preferable to be conducted on a regular basis to deal with unpredictable mechanical changes or variations on weight load distribution. Specifically, high-precision extrinsic parameters between the camera coordinate and the world coordinate are essential to implement high-level functions in intelligent vehicles such as distance estimation and lane departure warning. However, conventional calibration methods, which solve a Perspective-n-Point problem, require laborious work to measure the positions of 3D points in the world coordinate. To reduce this inconvenience, this paper proposes an automatic camera calibration method based on 3D reconstruction. The main contribution of this paper is a novel reconstruction method to recover 3D points on planes perpendicular to the ground. The proposed method jointly optimizes reprojection errors of image features projected from multiple planar surfaces, and finally, it significantly reduces errors in camera extrinsic parameters. Experiments were conducted in synthetic simulation and real calibration environments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

To improve accuracy of computer visual inspection in keyboard automatic assembly line, a new two-stage camera calibration method was presented. 2D circle array was used as calibration plate, and centers of the circles were taken as feature points. And feature point coordinates were extracted without human interference. The proposed camera calibration method was divided into two stages. First, lens distortion was neglected, internal and external parameters of the camera were obtained by modified camera calibration toolbox for MATLAB. Then, lens distortion was taken into account, and improved genetic algorithm (GA) was adopted to optimize camera parameters gotten in the first stage. Experiment results indicate the proposed method is feasible, and can meet with requirements of the given application.

Accurate correction of high distorted images is a very complex problem. Several lens distortion models exist that are adjusted using different techniques. Usually, regardless of the chosen model, a unique distortion model is adjusted to undistort images and the camera-calibration template distance is not considered. Several authors have presented the depth dependency of lens distortion but none of them have treated it with highly distorted images. This paper presents an analysis of the distortion depth dependency in strongly distorted images. The division model that is able to represent high distortion with only one parameter is modified to represent a depth-dependent high distortion lens model. The proposed calibration method obtains more accurate results when compared to existing calibration methods.

Target precise positioning by vision system is one of key techniques in robot vision system. In target positioning and selection with robot vision technique, the camera lens distortion must be calibrated. In this paper, a calibration method based on segment slope is used to calibrate the camera and the radial lens distortion coefficient is obtained. The distortion coefficient is used in calculating target position coordinates, and the robot end-exceutor is led to position the target with the use of the coordinates. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the research work. Keywords:robot vision;camera calibration;radial distortion;target positioning
