Review on camera calibration

The camera calibration has become one of the most important parts of computer vision. By doing this, we can obtain the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of cameras. This paper introduces the widespread application of camera calibration in the robot navigation, the three-dimensional reconstruction, the bio-medical, the virtual reality and the visual surveillance. Then summarizes the methods in different application, such as traditional calibration, the self-calibration and the active vision calibration.
