5 Camera Calibration Executive Summary On September 3 rd, 2012 a camera calibration was performed at BCIT by Eric Saczuk, Ph.D. on the camera PhaseOne owned by Terrasaurus Aerial Photography Ltd. Two lenses were provided, both with a focal length of 80mm. This camera calibration was successful and the results are shown in the section Camera Calibration Results. The main values that would be used in creating a virtual camera for photogrammetric measurement are listed in italics at the top of page 4. The next section describes the measurement process. The calibration wall is described along with the system of using taut strings to define lines that may be used to determine lens distortion. The camera positions and the number of exposures required are discussed. In the Computation Process section the strings and control points are measured by a program called Resample. This requires a manual edit step to ensure that false readings are removed and that all the lines and points have consistent numbering. Finally, the bundle adjustment is performed by a program called MSAT which calibrates the lens/camera. The results are tested using the program CAST which compares the results of different calibrations to see if there are any changes to the geometry of the camera over time. The lens is removed and replaced and this might have consequences on the calibration. In the case of this camera and lenses, the results of CAST show that this camera is consistent between calibrations. In conclusion the camera calibration of the PhaseOne supplied by Terrasaurus Aerial Photography was successful. Page 5

7 Camera Calibration Results table from MSAT The values above were extracted from the results file created by the MSAT bundle adjustment program. In the case of the PhaseOne camera the results from MSAT are very encouraging. Table 1 shows three columns with results from the first set of calibration pictures, Set 1, the results of the last set of calibration pictures, Set 2 and the difference between the two calibrations. The first 3 parameters are the X and Y coordinate of the perspective centre and the focal length, C. These are very similar in value from Set 1 to Set 2 in the order or 1/100 of a mm. The lens distortion value K1 has no measurable difference from Set 1 to Set 2. Page 7
8 PhaseOne with 80mm lens Comparing the Two Calibrations Two calibrations were performed on the lens. The lens was removed between each calibration to verify that the mounting mechanism is consistent. The two calibrations produce slightly different results. The differences could be caused by minor changes in the lens position and minor differences in the readings of the control points and strings. The program CAST is needed to determine whether two sets of Interior Orientation Parameters are equivalent to one another.

There are 16 control targets that have been cemented to the wall. These are made of non fading signpost material. Their positions have been measured using survey quality total stations to sub mm accuracy. The frame is a wooden structure that can be assembled on the spot. The frame is stored when not in use. The frame is approximately 5 meters by 4 meters. Once the frame has been assembled, strings are threaded through islets around the edges and pulled tight. The tension on the strings is maintained by bungee cords. Taut String Method This system of calibrating medium format non-metric cameras has been developed by Ayman Habib at the University of Calgary. The system works by taking a series of photographs of the wall. The focal length and perspective centres are calculated by using the control points. The radial lens distortion is calculated using the strings. The strings are assumed to be straight lines and so any deviation from this must be caused by lens distortion which can be measured and calculated. Page 8
9 Camera Calibration Camera Positions Six camera positions are used for taking the photographs; left, middle, right, and both top and bottom. The distance from the wall is determined by the focal length of the lens. The bottom pictures are taken from a tripod set low on the ground. For the top pictures the camera tripod was set on top of a set of moveable metal stairs. In each position one landscape (horizontal) and one portrait (vertical) picture is taken. This produces 12 pictures per set calibration. They are renumbered as LBH, LBV, MBH, MBV, RBH, RBV, LTH, LTV, MTH, MTV, RTH, and RTV where L= Left, M=Middle, R=Right, B= Bottom, T=Top, H=Horizontal, V=Vertical. Page 9
10 PhaseOne with 80mm lens Figure 1: BCIT Camera Calibration Wall Sixteen fixed surveyed targets are attached to the wall. The wooded frame is assembled for the calibration. Figure 2: Taut String Method Strings are threaded through hooks along the wooden frame. These strings are pulled tight to produce straight lines. These lines are used by the software to determine lens distortion. Figure 3: Camera Positions 12 Photographs are taken of the wall from six positions. At each position the camera is rotated so that one photo is landscape and the other is portrait orientation. Page 10
11 Camera Calibration Computer Processing Resample Resample is part of the University of Calgary package for camera calibration. Its task is the automatic measurement of lines and points on the 12 photographs taken for the calibration. The program also allows the operator to edit the measurement. Extra or incorrect lines or points may be deleted. Missing lines or points may be measured. Existing lines may be edited, for example one bad point on a line may be removed. Lines and points can also be renumbered. The automatic measurement of lines and points is quite computer intensive. In this calibration session two camera lenses were calibrated Lens A and Lens B, both 80mm. The first image on the opposite page, Figure 4, shows one of the stages of the resample program as it tries to isolate line strings and points from the other background objects in the image. The second image, Figure 5, shows lines that have been measured. The strings of coloured crosses indicate measurements. On this particular image many of the shadows are also measured and will have to be removed. Resample is fairly good at distinguishing shadows from the real line especially if the two are very close together. The bottom image, Figure 6, shows the file after manual editing. The incorrect lines have been removed and the points measured and numbered. The manual editing can be time consuming as all the lines and all the points must be numbered in the same way for all pictures. MSAT Once the measuring stage is completed the measured files, one for lines and one for control points are translated into a different format. The program MSAT uses the lines and points files to run a bundle adjustment and calculate the camera parameters. This program is very sensitive to any mistakes in point numbering or line numbering. It also requires series of input files that contain the control coordinates and the approximate orientations of the cameras. Diligence is critical to make sure the values are correct and in the correct format within the files for the successful execution of the program. The final results file shows all the computations and different iterations that took place through the adjustment. There is a summary of the parameters near the end of the file and these will be used by other processes when using the camera to perform photogrammetry. Page 11
12 PhaseOne with 80mm lens Figure 4: Resample Auto Measuring System Resample uses specific image processing techniques to identify stings and control points within the image. Figure 5: Resample measures line strings The strings are measured and numbered. Sometimes shadows or other lines on the wall are also measured. Figure 6: Manual Edit and Renumbering Unwanted lines and points are removed and lines and points are renumbered in each photo. Page 12
