Abstract
In this paper, we propose the semi-auto camera calibration method including user input. The proposed method estimates the vanishing points using user defined reference lines and defines the constraint for reducing outlier in vanishing points estimation process. The proposed camera calibration method based on both algebraic and geometric method improves a calibration performance for difficult condition, which represents that existing method can't calibrate a image. Experimental results show that the proposed method calibration accuracy higher than existing method.
