Calibration Apparatus of On-Vehicle Camera, Program, and Car Navigation System
First Claim
1. An on-vehicle camera calibration apparatus comprising:
- an on-vehicle camera;
a camera parameter calculation unit configured to calculate camera parameters from a characteristic amount of a road surface sign photographed by the on-vehicle camera and recognized by an image processing and to output the camera parameters, wherein the camera parameters include an installation height and installation angle of the on-vehicle camera in photographing; and
a camera parameter calibration unit configured to perform optical axis calibration control of the on-vehicle camera by the camera parameters output by the camera parameter calculation unit.
