Abstract
Camera calibration is the process of determining the parameters such as the focal length of a camera, the position of a principal point, and lens distortions. For this purpose, images of checkerboard have been mainly used. When targets were automatically recognized in checkerboard image, the existing studies had limitations in that the user should have a good understanding of the input parameters for recognizing the target or that all checkerboard should appear in the image. In this study, a methodology for automatic target recognition was proposed. In this method, even if only a part of the checkerboard image was captured using rectangles including eight blobs, four each at the central portion and the outer portion of the checkerboard, the index of the target can be automatically assigned. In addition, there is no need for input parameters. In this study, three conditions were used to automatically extract the center point of the checkerboard target: the distortion of black and white pattern, the frequency of edge change, and the ratio of black and white pixels. Also, the direction and numbering of the checkerboard targets were made with blobs. Through experiments on two types of checkerboards, it was possible to automatically recognize checkerboard targets within a minute for 36 images.
