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.

Camera Calibration with Varying Parameters Based On Improved Genetic Algorithm
TLDR
Tested on several cases, the proposed method proved to be an effective tool to determine the camera parameters necessary for various applications, such as the images rectification, the analytical photogrammetry and 3D reconstruction from 2D images.
Al-Thocb HSC: a harmony search algorithm for automated calibration of industrial equipment
TLDR
Al-Thocb, a Harmony Search Calibration algorithm, based on Harmony Search Optimization, allows to retrieve coherent camera parameters with no need for specific user skills and significantly improves the accuracy of calibration through the use of the reprojection error as fitness function.
Methods for augmented reality e-commerce
TLDR
An immersive AR environment with GPU based occlusion is presented to improve the rendering and usability of AR applications and a new modeling method, which recovers 3D model directly from 2D photos without knowing camera information, is presented.

Internal Camera Calibration using Rotation and Geometric Shapes
TLDR
This method is based on tracking image features through a sequence of images while the camera undergoes pure rotation and can be used both for laboratory calibration and for self calibration in autonomous robots working in unstructured environments.
Camera Calibration with Distortion Models and Accuracy Evaluation
TLDR
A camera model that accounts for major sources of camera distortion, namely, radial, decentering, and thin prism distortions is presented and a type of measure is introduced that can be used to directly evaluate the performance of calibration and compare calibrations among different systems.

TLDR
A simple and accurate method for internal camera calibration based on tracking image features through a sequence of images while the camera undergoes pure rotation that can be used both for laboratory calibration and for self calibration in autonomous robots.
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.
