A new classic camera calibration method based on coplanar Points

As a necessary step of 3D reconstruction, and a premise and base for computer vision obtaining the spatial information of 3D objects, research on the camera calibration methods has great important significance of theoretical study and practical value. This paper introduces a new simply, flexible and more accurate classic camera calibration method based on coplanar points. This method only requires a coplanar target and without camera motion. We use step-by-step calibration thinking, and first calibrate the principal point, and then neglect the lens distortion and linearly solve all the parameters, when high accuracy is required, we can include Weng´s lens distortion model and solve the distortion coefficient by nonlinear algorithm. The experiment of images proves the proposed method is accurate and effective.
