Abstract
Visual sensor calibration represents the problem of determining the parameters of the transformation between the 3D information of the imaged object in space and the 2D observed image. Such a relationship is mandatory for 3D vision. More precisely, we have to know the location (translation) and attitude (rotation) of the visual sensor with respect to the rest of the robotic system (extrinsic parameters), and the different parameters of the lens, such as focal length, magnitude factors, optical center retinal location (intrinsic parameters).
