Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for 3D camera calibration. Calculation of the focal length and the optical center of the camera are the main objectives of this research work. The proposed technique requires a single image having two vanishing points. A rectangular prism is employed as the calibration target to generate vanishing points. The special arrangement of the calibration object adds more accuracy in finding the intrinsic parameters. Based on the geometry of the perspective distortion of the edges of the prisms from the image, vanishing points are found. There on, fixing up the picture plane followed by fixing up of the station point is carried out based on the relations that are formulated. Experimental results of our method are likened with Zhang's method. Results are tabulated to show the accuracy of the proposed approach.
