We describe here a method to compute the internal parameters of a camera whose position and orientation are known. The method is based on the observation of at least three conics on a known plane; these can be easily extracted in a real scenario from a tiled floor or other regular structures. The method estimates the principal point and focal length using a unique image of the conics when these are observed by an additional calibrated camera. Differently from other methods, no assumptions is made on the conics used for calibration. The experimental results demonstrate that the accuracy of the method is comparable to that of more traditional (and time consuming) approaches. It can find applications in systems of Pan-Zoom-Tilt (PZT) or traditional cameras, that are nowadays widely employed, for instance in the surveillance domain, and require frequent re-calibration.

Abstract
We describe here a method to compute the internal parameters of a camera whose position and orientation are known. The method is based on the observation of at least three conics on a known plane; these can be easily extracted in a real scenario from a tiled floor or other regular structures. The method estimates the principal point and focal length using a unique image of the conics when these are observed by an additional calibrated camera. Differently from other methods, no assumptions is made on the conics used for calibration. The experimental results demonstrate that the accuracy of the method is comparable to that of more traditional (and time consuming) approaches. It can find applications in systems of Pan-Zoom-Tilt (PZT) or traditional cameras, that are nowadays widely employed, for instance in the surveillance domain, and require frequent re-calibration.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
