Implementation of Camera Calibration Method Based on OpenCV

Abstract:

Aimed at the applications of technology of camera calibration to 3D reconstruction, the ideal camera model is discussed, especially on the influences and solving methods of lens radial distortion andtangential distortion, and an arithmetic of camera calibration based on OpenCV (open source computer vision library) in Visual C++ environment is given. This arithmetic makes use of the functions of the library effectively, so it has high calibration precision and good robust. It can meet the needs of august reality and othercomputer vision systems.
