Image calibration is the very first step in the low-level vision process, making it possible to reliably exploit geometrical information from images. In this paper, we address the problem of calculating and compensating camera lens distortion using a fast evolutionary algorithm. The advantages and limitations of this method are compared with classical calibration methods. Key-words: calibration; evolutionary algorithm; lens distortion; collinearity; geometric invariant; optimization.

Nonparametric correction of distortion
TLDR
A new algorithm to remove distortion is presented, similar to the plumb line method but it uses images of spheres rather than lines, corrects to stereographic rather than perspective projection, and uses a nonparametric distortion model.
Camera Calibration of the KTH Head-Eye System
TLDR
Methods and techniques for calibrating cameras of the KTH head-eye system, in particular, intrinsic parameters, are presented and the intention is to build up look-up-tables for them so that the authors can index them and no on-the-job calibration is needed.
