A Method of Line Structured Light Vision System Calibration Based on Stereo Vision

Abstract

It is a difficult task to get enough numbers of highly accurate control points for projector calibration in line structured light vision system. A new projector calibration method based on binocular stereo vision is proposed in this paper. Two cameras calibration can be done usingtraditional camera calibration method and they composed a binocular stereo vision. In projector calibration procedure, a planar template was located at several different positions in front of the stereo vision system. Two cameras captured the stripe images in each position simultaneously. Every center points of the laser stripe can be used as control points of the projector plane. The 3D coordinate of the stripe center points can be obtained through binocular stereo vision principle easily. So the light plane can be calculated quickly. Experiments were carried out and the result shows that the proposed method is flexible and stable.
