Accurate Camera Calibration Using GMDH Algorithm

GMDH 알고리즘을 이용한 정확한 카메라의 보정기법

Camera calibration is an important problem to determine the relationship between 3D real world and 2D camera image. The existing calibration methods can be classified into linear and non-linear models. The linear methods are simple and robust against noise, but the accuracy expectation is generally poor. In comparison, if the non-linearity, which is due mainly to lens distortion, is corrected, the accuracy can be better. However, as the optical features of lens are diverse, no non-linear method can be always effective for diverse vision systems. In this paper, we propose a new approach to correct the calibration error of a linear method using GMDH algorithm. The proposed technique is simple in concept and showed improved accuracy in various cases.
