Abstract A new calibration algorithm for multi-camera systems using 1D calibration objects is proposed. The algorithm integrates the rank-4 factorization with Zhang (2004)’s method. The intrinsic parameters as well as the extrinsic parameters are recovered by capturing with cameras the 1D object’s rotations around a fixed point. The algorithm is based on factorization of the scaled measurement matrix, the projective depth of which is estimated in an analytical equation instead of a recursive form. For more than three points on a 1D object, the approach of our algorithm is to extend the scaled measurement matrix. The obtained parameters are finally refined through the maximum likelihood inference. Simulations and experiments with real images verify that the proposed technique achieves a good trade-off between the intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters.
