Camera Calibration Method Based on Vanishing Point

Abstract

We present a camera calibration method based on vanishing point, that is, the vanishing points of two groups of parallel lines on the target plane are used to achieve camera calibration. A series of known positions points on target plane are used as the feature points, and the target images are recorded, the image coordinates of feature points are used to calculate the coordinates of vanishing point, then the matrix between feature points and camera is used to obtain internal parameters of camera. Experimental results show that the proposed calibration algorithm is correct, simple and convenient.
