For the purpose of obtaining high-precision in stereo vision calibration, a large-size precise calibration target, which can cover more than half of the field of view is vital. However, large-scale calibration targets are very difficult to fabricate. Based on the idea of error tracing, a high-precision calibration method for vision system with large field of view by constructing a virtual 3-D calibration target with a laser tracker was proposed in this article. A virtual 3-D calibration target that covers the whole measurement space can be established flexibly and the measurement precision of the vision system can be traceable to the laser tracker. First, virtual 3-D targets by calculating rigid body transformation with unit quaternion method were constructed. Then, the high-order distortion camera model was taken into consideration. Besides, the calibration parameters were solved with Levenberg–Marquardt optimization algorithm. In the experiment, a binocular stereo vision system with the field of view of 4 × 3 × 2 m3 was built for verifying the validity and precision of the proposed calibration method. It is measured that the accuracy with the proposed method can be greatly improved comparing with traditional plane calibration method. The method can be widely used in industrial applications, such as in the field of calibrating large-scale vision-based coordinate metrology, and six-degrees of freedom pose tracking system for dimensional measurement of workpiece, as well as robotics geometrical accuracy detection and compensation.

The stereo vision system is the special engineering measurement instrument of the Chang'e-4 lunar rover. It is composed of the Navigation Camera (NavCam) and the Mast Mechanism (MasMec). An improved self-calibration method for the stereo vision system of the Chang'e-4 lunar rover is proposed. The method consists of two parts: the NavCam's self-calibration and the MasMec's self-calibration. A combined adjustment based on the points and lines is proposed. The baseline constraint of the NavCam is considered. The self-calibration model of the MasMec is established based on the product-of-exponentials formula. Finally, the premission laboratory calibration and the on-site calibration are carried out. The laboratory calibration shows that the proposed approach has high accuracy. The checkpoint with a distance of about 2.7 m to the left NavCam has a point error of about 4 mm. Finally, the proposed approach is applied in the on-site calibration.

Computer stereo vision has been paid high attention in areas such as industry measurement and automatic control. Calibration of stereo vision system is a key step to implement vision measurement. Nonlinear calibration method involves too many parameters and too complex function, so the processing of optimization is difficult and slow. In this paper, two digital cameras are used to set up stereo vision system which provides convenient experimental operation. The binocular stereo vision system is calibrated using linear calibration model. The results indicate that the method is stable and fast with high precision and practicability.

Aiming at the camera calibration of binocular stereo vision system, based on Zhang’s calibration method, the specified points in the calibration template obtained by the Harris operator, a set of camera calibration system combined with VC++ and Matlab was developed. The results of the calibration system, comparing with those of four-step calibration method, was analyzed and showed that: the error of calibration data in this system was within 0~5 mm, which had a high precision calibration, providing a new reference measure for the camera calibration.
