Camera calibration is an important problem in 3D computer vision. The problem of determining the camera parameters has been studied extensively. However the algorithms for determining the required correspondences are either semi-automatic (i.e. they require user interaction) or they involve difficult to implement custom algorithms.
We present a robust algorithm for detecting the corners of a calibration grid and assigning the correct correspondences for calibration . The solution is based on generic image processing operations so that it can be implemented quickly. The algorithm is limited to distortion-free cameras but it could potentially be extended to deal with camera distortion as well. We also present a corner detector based on steerable filters. The corner detector is particularly suited for the problem of detecting the corners of a calibration grid.
