Calibration Venus: An Interactive Camera Calibration Method Based on Search Algorithm and Pose Decomposition

Abstract

In many scenarios where cameras are applied, such as robot positioning and unmanned driving, camera calibration is one of the most important pre-work. The interactive calibration method based on the plane board is becoming popular in camera calibration field due to its repeatability and operation advantages. However, the existing methods select suggestions from a fixed dataset of pre-defined poses based on subjective experience, which leads to a certain degree of one-sidedness. Moreover, they does not give users clear instructions on how to place the board in the specified pose.
