Description

technical field [0001] The present application belongs to the field of computer vision, and in particular relates to a calibration device, method and depth camera. Background technique [0002] A series of depth cameras such as monocular structured light cameras and TOF cameras are composed of a projection part and a camera. In order to achieve accurate depth measurement, it is usually necessary to strictly restrict the relative posture of the projection part and the camera so that the optical axis of the camera and the two constitute baselines are perpendicular to each other. However, errors are inevitable in the actual assembly process. If the depth is calculated directly according to the depth calculation method under the ideal attitude, the measurement accuracy of the depth camera will be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the depth camera to obtain the accurate attitude between the projection part and the camera, that is, the external parameters of the ca...

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a calibration device, method, and depth camera. The method can determine the internal parameters of the camera through the first calibration image captured by the camera on the calibration plate; control the projection component to pattern the calibration plate The projection of the light beam, and then the second calibration image taken by the camera to the calibration plate, to determine the external parameters of the camera and the projection component. Compared with the calibration process of the relevant parameters of the camera in the prior art, this method controls the moving components. Obtaining the first calibration image and the second calibration image including the patterned light beam projected by the projection part on the calibration plate on the calibration plate at different positions simplifies the acquisition of calibration materials, and because the f
