Abstract

Precise visual measurement applications, like video measuring system (VMS), use camera systems with motorized zoom lens for fast and efficient measurement. In this paper, we introduce an efficient calibration method for zoom lens of VMS controlled by servo motor. For the automated zoom lens calibration of the VMS, only zoom lens setting needs to be calibrated and parameters calibrated by zoom lens settings are image center and pixel size changed by zoom levels, The extrinsic parameters, like focus and iris, do not need to be calibrated since the parameters are usually fixed, It needs a lot of time and effort to calibrate the camera for ali the different zoom levels. In this paper, we also propose an efficient and fast zoom lens calibration method, which calculates the calibration parameters of the zoom lens settings for the minimum number of zoom levels and estimates other parameters for the uncalculated zoom levels using the interpolation of the calculated parameter values.
