Geometrically calibrating a device is not just a simple matter of running an image of a checkerboard through Imatest software. It requires prior information about the nominal device specification and a considered test setup appropriate to the device. In return, Imatest can produce consistent and accurate calibrations even for challenging devices in a constrained setting (such as a production line). 

Designing a calibration program for your device

Before you are able to make proper, accurate use of the Geometric Calibrator, you should: 

  • Determine your accuracy requirement for the parameters to be calibrated.
  • Gather the nominal device specification values for your system, including the field of view for all devices, hyperfocal distance, and sensor pitch. 
  • Understand the Required Evidence for calibrating a system, how the Calibration Procedure will make use of it, and how the evidence required relates to your requirements.
  • Decide upon a Supported Target configuration based on your device(s’) parameters and the space allotted by your Test Setup
