Utility
Method for calibrating image capturing sensor consisting of at least one sensor camera, using time coded patterned target
12 Jul 22
A method for calibrating an image capturing sensor including at least one sensor camera using a time coded pattern target including: displaying the target on a flat screen display, displaying a pattern sequence on the display and capturing the pattern sequence by the at least one sensor camera as a sequence of a camera images, performing an association between pixels of the target and captured image points of the camera images for at least one fixed position of the display in space or respectively for at least two different positions of the display in space, performing the calibration through corresponding points, performing a gamma correction wherein a gamma curve of the display is captured and corrected in any position of the display and/or in addition to capturing the pattern sequence in any position of the display by the at least one sensor camera before displaying the target.
