Abstract
Two approaches to evaluation of the accuracy of the monoplane camera calibration procedure are discussed. First, the errors affecting the extrinsic and intrinsic parameters of the camera model are experimentally investigated to cover a number of side aspects not fully reported in the literature. The relevance of gain errors, besides random errors, and the criticality of the estimation of distances along the optical axis is pointed out. The precise meaning of the focal length parameter is also discussed. The second approach analyzes the error in the estimated position of a point, as determined by intersecting the pertinent line of sight with a known plane where the point is constrained. Experiments demonstrate state of the art performance.
