CAMERA CALIBRATION WITH POSE GUIDANCE

Camera calibration plays a critical role in various computer vision tasks such as autonomous driving or augmented reality. Widely used camera calibration tools utilize plane pattern based methodology, such as using a chessboard or AprilTag board, user's calibration expertise level significantly affects calibration accuracy and consistency when without clear instruction. Furthermore, calibration is a recurring task that has to be performed each time the camera is changed or moved. It's also a great burden to calibrate huge amounts of cameras such as Driver Monitoring System (DMS) cameras in a production line with millions of vehicles. To resolve above issues, we propose a calibration system called Calibration with Pose Guidance to improve calibration accuracy, reduce calibration variance among different users or different trials of the same person. Experiment result shows that our proposed method achieves more accurate and consistent calibration than traditional calibration tools.
