The invention relates to a camera calibration system and method thereof
which is capable of easily performing camera calibration using a
concentric circle pattern. According to the invention, a method of
calibrating a camera calibrates the intrinsic parameters of the camera
required to measure geometric information of an object using projection
invariable characteristics of concentric circles. The method includes the
steps of taking images of the calibration pattern consisting of two or
more concentric circles located in the same plane and having different
radius at different angles to obtain projected images calculating the
central point of the projected images using a given algorithm, and
calculating the principal point and focal point of camera using a
nonlinear minimization algorithm based on the central point thus
obtained.
