Matlab package for a complete and fully automatic calibration of multi-camera setups (3 cams min). A standard laser pointer is the only hardware you need. No calibration object and user interaction required.
| Waving an easily detectable spot is the only hand work required. The photograph shows an ordinary laser pointer slightly modified by attaching a small piece of transparent plastic. The spot projections are found fully automatically and with sub-pixel precision. |  |
The result is a complete calibration in a metric coordinate system ready for 3D computation. The parameters of the nonlinear distortion are also estimated. The reprojection error is deeply below 1/2 pixels even for cameras with severe radial distortion.
