Abstract:The camera calibration algorithm based on plane board is presented.The basic categories of the camera calibration method are firstly given.Their advantages and disadvantages are shown together with the current situation of the traditional camera calibration method,and the active camera calibration method and camera self-calibration method are introduced,too.Then a camera calibration method based on the parameter calibration of the stereo vision system is described and realized with Matlab.The results show that the software can be applied in projects.
