An External Parameter Optimize Method for 3D Optical Measurement System

Abstract

A simple and effective external parameter calibration and optimize method based on epipolar geometry for improving the accuracy and stabilization of 3D optical measurement system are present. First, the internal parameters of two cameras are calibrated using the planar calibration method. Then using the parameters as initial value calibrates the external parameter of the 3D optical measurement system in every view. Optimization result is computed through minimizing epipolar line error of the same pair of points in every view. Experimental results show that the measurement precision is high and stable in the measurement volume.
