Abstract
Camera calibration is used to determine the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a 3D imaging system based on structured light. Traditional methods like chessboard and circular dots usually employ an intensity-based feature point detection procedure, and are susceptible to noise, image contrast, and image blur. To address these issues, we proposed an active calibration method to accurately detect the centers of chromatic concentric fringe patterns (CCFP). Specifically, we first acquired the circular phase using a phase analysis algorithm, then extracted nine phase contours from the circular phase for the corresponding subpixel center coordinates using an ellipse fitting algorithm, and precisely calculated the final center with their weighted sum. We ran a simulation and evaluated the impacts of different degrees of Gaussian blur and noise on the calibrated parameters. The simulation demonstrates that our approach is more robust to noise and blur than previous ones, and our approach yields a higher calibration accuracy. Moreover, we carried out a comparison experiment to evaluate the performance of our method. It showed that the reprojection error can be reduced by at least 10% in the out-of-focus condition (i.e., the target is beyond the working distance of the camera) and the 3D reconstruction accuracy can be improved by nearly 10%.
