Comparison of the Performance of the Calibration Algorithm of Wide-Angle Lens

Abstract:

Fish-eye lens is used in various applications due to wide coverage of scene. In particular, it can be effectively used in visual surveillance and surround monitoring in automotive. It has large radial distortion compared to the conventional lens with small field of view. In this paper, we present comparison results for the calibration of fish-eye lens. We compare two algorithms where one is available in OpenCV [ and the other is Devernay and Faugeras [. Also, we present experimental result according to the number of calibration points, initialization value. We evaluate the accuracy of calibration thorough 3D reconstruction by stereo system. It can give more reliable evaluation than using reprojection eror by single camera.
