An Evolutionary Algorithm for Camera Calibration
@inproceedings{Guermeur2000AnEA, title={An Evolutionary Algorithm for Camera Calibration}, author={Philippe Guermeur and Jean Louchet}, year={2000} }
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.
