Abstract

Color imaging instruments, such as photo and video-cameras, and depth imaging instruments, such as ToF cameras and the Kinect™, require a preliminary calibration in order to be used for measurement purposes. Calibration must usually account both for the internal characteristics and the spatial positions of the considered instruments, and it needs to be accurate and precise for meaningful measures.
