The projection errors for all images of the inventive and conventional methods are shown in table 2 below. As can be seen from Table 2, the overall average error of the method of the present invention is 0.0671, which is 92.4% lower than that of the conventional method. The re-projection error distribution of the conventional method for all the feature points in each image is shown in fig. 5, and the error points are seriously spread. The re-projection error distribution of the method of the invention for all the characteristic points in each image is shown in fig. 6, and the error points are basically concentrated within 0.2. By integrating table 2, fig. 5 and fig. 6, it is illustrated that the method greatly improves the camera calibration accuracy, and also verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the method of the present invention.
