Abstract

A method of calibration of a dual camera system, including, providing a chart of a plurality of circular rings and at least one disk, imaging the chart with a first camera to provide a first chart image and a second camera to provide a second chart image, performing edge detection of the first and second chart image on the plurality of circular rings and the at least one disk, determining the relative position of the plurality of circular rings to the at least one disk, matching the relative positions of the plurality of circular rings of the first chart image and the second chart image and aligning the first camera and the second camera based on the matching of the first chart image to the second chart image.

Claims (14)

1. A method of calibration of a dual camera system, comprising:

providing a chart of a plurality of circular rings and at least one disk;

imaging the chart with a first camera to provide a first chart image;

imaging the chart with a second camera to provide a second chart image;

performing edge detection of the first chart image and the second chart image on the plurality of circular rings and the at least one disk, wherein a plurality of inner edges and a plurality of outer edges are detected of the plurality of circular rings and an outer edge is detected of the at least one disk;

determining a relative position of the plurality of circular rings to the at least one disk;

matching the relative positions of the plurality of circular rings of the first chart image and the second chart image; and

aligning the first camera and the second camera based on the matching of the first chart image to the second chart image.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising binarizing the first chart image and second chart image to remove gray scale components.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising fitting least one center to the plurality of circular rings and the at least one disk.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising fitting at least one radius to the plurality of circular rings and the at least one disk.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising grouping the plurality of inner edges and the plurality of outer edges of the plurality of circular rings to at least one center based on at least one radius.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising indexing at least one center of the plurality of circular rings utilizing the at least one disk as a reference.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising matching the indexed at least one center of the first chart image and the second chart image.
