Camera calibration for coastal monitoring using available snapshot images

Joint intrinsic and extrinsic calibration from a single snapshot is a common requirement in coastal monitoring practice. This work analyzes the influence of different aspects, such as the distribution of Ground Control Points (GCPs) or the image obliquity, on the quality of the calibration for two d...

Sumario:Joint intrinsic and extrinsic calibration from a single snapshot is a common requirement in coastal monitoring practice. This work analyzes the influence of different aspects, such as the distribution of Ground Control Points (GCPs) or the image obliquity, on the quality of the calibration for two different mathematical models (one being a simplification of the other). The performance of the two models is assessed using extensive laboratory data (i.e., snapshots of a grid). While both models are able to properly adjust the GCPs, the simpler model gives a better overall performance when the GCPs are not well distributed over the image. Furthermore, the simpler model allows for better recovery of the camera position and orientation.
