Summary:The invention involves a calibration device for camera calibration, which consists of two vertical grid boards that have distribution grid and the number of signs marked with a unique code point. The invention also provides a method of the camera calibration, including the following steps: (a) Acquisition of images of the calibration device; (2) corresponding coordinates of the signs point to the coordinates of object point; (3) projection the plane grid to get the initial point coordinates of grid point; (4) the use of line extraction intersection to get the precise coordinates of points; (5) The use of 3-D direct linear transformation for the initial value of calibration parameters; (6) iterative solution with beam adjustment to get the camera's internal and external orientation elements. After shooting a picture of calibration device in the invention, the follow-up calibration process can be done automatically by computer. The advantage of the invention is automatic and quickness.
