Validation Methods for Geometric Camera Calibration
Paul Romanczyk, Senior Imaging Scientist at Imatest, presents his Electronic Imaging 2020 paper. Camera-based advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) need the mapping from image coordinates to world coordinates, which geometric calibration provides. The talk describes tests for judging how good a calibration is and for comparing calibration models for an as-built camera, driven by automotive use cases:
- Image coordinate system test: are different teams using the same image coordinates?
- Reprojection test: forward-project targets through the model onto the image plane
- Projection test: inverse-project points through the model out into the world
- Triangulation test: how well a multi-camera system locates a point in 3D
