Camera calibration using rectangular textures

Abstract

This paper describes a practical method for the camera calibration given a single image of a regular texture. This paper uses the calibration of images of skyscrapers as an example. The paper introduces two algorithms for the assignment of real world coordinates to feature points. The first algorithm selects five closely connected feature points and determines the orientation of the rectangular pattern. The second algorithm iteratively sorts the feature points and assigns real world coordinates to them. Lastly, the Tsai camera calibration algorithm is used to compute the camera parameters.
