Abstract

In this paper, a lens distortion correction method for low-cost digital camera is proposed. The distortion coefficient and distortion center are estimated by using geometric invariants of perspective projection. The geometric invariants, including cross ratio of collinear points and straight-parallel-perpendicular lines, will be invariant in transforming from the world coordinate system to image coordinate system if there exists no distortion. We derive new distortion measure that is based on these geometric properties and can be optimized with nonlinear search technique. The method is easy to apply and lead to robust results with moderate effort. We verify accuracy and efficiency from experiments.
