-The algorithm of correction of error caused by perspective distortions of measuring mark images is discussed. Theoretical and experimental evaluation of error from image perspective distortions by the example of circular mark is conducted. The obtained results are prospective to be applied in the tracking systems, measuring devices and automatic robotic system. Algorithm with correction for decreasing of perspective distortions error will be useful for cost-cutting of developing systems as well as the existing systems could be improved to better accuracy level.

“…The procedure of tracking of measuring marker spatial position for this system consists in regular determination of marker space coordinates of photogrammetric system and their comparison with a certain position considered as initial one [5,6]. This approach implies that the photogrammetric system is fixed, and the markers move.…”

“…(2); g, unknown vector of parameter of the camera; and h, free column vector obtained from the results of a recognition of the coordinates of the centers of the markers in the image. The unknown vector of parameters of the camera may be obtained by the method of least squares from the expression g = (D T D) -1 D T h [5].…”

“…The new approach may be used in the solution of problems related to tracking the spatial displacements of objects, spatial measurement of objects of complex form, and in the construction of feedback systems in control of mechatron devices [5][6][7][8]. The calibration method has the following advantages: high rate of calibration procedure; lack of any need for the use of measurement markers of special form; and the fact that it is possible to use the method in mobile coordinatemeasuring systems.…”

The use of the method of least squares in calibration of cameras in contactless spatial measurement systems is investigated.The technology of contactless spatial measurements has become increasingly more common in recent years both in machine construction and in related fields of industry [1]. By comparison to contact measurement systems, contactless measurement systems exhibit a host of advantages, chief among which are the absence of any need for mechanical contact with the subject of measurement; high rate at which measurement information is obtained (down to several tens of thousands of points per minute); and the fact that it is possible to perform spatial measurements of objects of complex form.Contactless spatial measurement systems are based on such technologies as photogrammetry, triangulation, and laser interferometry; moreover, still or film cameras (depending on the nature of the problems that have to be solved, whether static or dynamic) are most often used to implement the technologies. The cameras constitute an optical system ( Fig. 1) consisting of several lenses that determine the magnification, solid angle, and the guides of the light flux 1 to the digital array 3 through a semitransparent plate 2 that transmits a portion of the light flux through the optical system 4, 5 into the view finder 6. Thus, a digital image which, from the geometric point of view, is a central projection of the three-dimensional subject of measurement into the camera's plane of projection is usually formed at the camera output. Schematically, a model of a still camera may be depicted in accordance with Fig. 2. Upon projection to some point S, the polyhedron ABCD in three-dimensional space leaves a track abcd in the plane of projection (in the CCD array of the camera). Measurements by means of cameras are related directly or indirectly with reconstruction of the lines of the projection link connecting the center of projection S, a point in the test object, and its track in the plane of the image [2, 3]. The use of photogrammetric technologies to produce measurement information makes it possible to investigate surfaces of complex form with sufficient precision (down to 0.01 mm) [4].On the basis of mathematical models, a camera is described by nine parameters, among which may be distinguished internal and external parameters [2,3]. The internal parameters are those which determine the solid angle of the camera as well as the deviation of the principal optical axis from the nominal position. The parameters of external orientation in the projective model of the camera include the coordinates of the center of projection of the camera S(x S , y S , z S ) and the angles α, ω, and χ, which specify the direction of its principal optical axis. Basically, these parameters determine the matrices of transformation from some absolute (global) coordinate system X a , Y a , Z a into a coordinate system bound with the camera X, Y, Z in which the axes X and Y are respectively parallel to the axes X p and Y p of the planar coordinate syste...
