Comparative Geometric Tests of Industrial and Scientific Ccd Cameras Using Plumb Line and Test Range Calibrations

چکیده
Small format, medium resolution CCD cameras are at present widely used for industrial metrology applications. Large format, high resolution CCD cameras are principally used for scientific applications, but are slowly infiltrating photogrammetry and dramatically improving the object space accuracy achievable by close range measurement. The calibration of all types of CCD cameras is necessary in order to characterise the geometry of the sensors and lenses. Fourteen different types of CCD sensor and lens combinations have been calibrated at the NASA Langley Research Center using plumb line calibration combined with self-calibration and a targeted test field. The results of these calibration tests will be described, with particular emphasis on the dependence on sensor resolution and a comparison of industrial and scientific CCD cameras.

Stability Analysis and Geometric Calibration of Off-the-Shelf Digital Cameras
Recent developments of digital cameras in terms of the size of a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) and Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) arrays, as well as reduced costs, are leading to their applications in traditional and new photogrammetric, surveying, and mapping functions. Such cameras require careful calibration to determine their metric characteristics, as defined by the Interior...
متن کاملComparative Geometric and Radiometric Evaluation of Mobile Phone and Still Video Cameras
This paper examines the potential of mobile phones to be used as front-end sensors for photogrammetric procedures and applications. For this purpose, two mobile phone cameras (Sony Ericsson K750i and Nokia N93) were calibrated over an indoor 3D testfield, using a self-calibrating bundle adjustment. Geometric accuracy tests were carried out in order to evaluate their metric performances and to c...

Document images produced by scanners or digital cameras usually have photometric and geometric distortions. If either of these effects distorts document, recognition of words from such a document image using OCR is subject to errors. In this paper we propose a novel approach to significantly remove geometric distortion from document images. In this method first we extract document lines from do...

Defocusing effects in modulation transfer function (MTF) measurement of charge coupled device (CCD) cameras is the main focus of current paper. We introduce measuring Point-spread function (PSF) in order to calculate the MTF and further more we will study the shape of MTF and its cut-off frequency by adjusting the lens focusing in different locations. A collimated white light LED by broadband s...
متن کاملA multi - sensor approach to creating accurate virtual environments 1
Creating virtual environment models often requires geometric data from range sensors as well as photometric data from CCD cameras. The model must be geometrically correct, visually realistic, and small enough in size to allow real-time rendering. We present an approach based on 3D range sensor data, multiple CCD cameras, and a colour high-resolution digital still camera. The multiple CCD camera...
