Abstract

We present a simplified camera calibration algorithm taking advantage of the geometry of our operating microscope, and requiring no special calibration target. Simulations showed that this algorithm is moderately sensitive to inaccuracies in S and f. For nominal values of Sn=6 pix/mm and fn=300 mm, we found that a 5% deviation in the value of S results in a mean error of 0.99 mm, while a 5% deviation in the actual value of f results in a 0.81 mm mean error.
