Abstract

The authors of this paper adopted the projected characteristics of the absolute conic in terms of the Pascal's theorem to propose an entirely new camera calibration method based on purely geometric thoughts. The use of this theorem in the geometric algebra framework allows us to compute a projective invariant using the conics of only two images which expressed using brackets helps us to set enough equations to solve the calibration problem. The method requires restricted controlled camera movements. Our method is less sensitive to noise as the Kruppa's-equation-based methods. Experiments with simulated and real images confirm that the performance of the algorithm is reliable.
