Abstract:Camera calibration obtains the correspondence between the 3D coordinates of the space object and its 2D coordinates of the images by solving the internal and external parameters of the camera, and it is of much more importance in computer vision. In this paper, introduced are the common coordinate system and transformation relation in camera calibration technology, linear and non-linear models of camera imaging, and three kinds of typical calibration methods. Focusing on six aspects of the improvements of large field of view camera calibration, the research progresses in recent years are summarized .
