New Camera Parameters Calibration Method of Binocular Vision System

Abstract:

About the key problems of the binocular vision system design which was used to video log examining, and according to the binocular parallax theory and triangle measuring theory, the paper researched the basic principle of camera imaging, proposed the camera parameters calibration method that could determine the best placed baseline distance of two cameras and the camera focal length together, inferred the relationship of the best baseline distance and the camera focal length by analyzing to many groups calibration results. The simulation experiment results show that this method is simple, practical, and has a high precision, provides a theoretical basis for design of tow cameras positions in the binocular vision system.
