Methodology and Tool Development for Mobile Device Cameras Calibration and Evaluation of the Results.

In this paper, a procedure for calibrating the image sensors of mobile devices and evaluating their results was developed and implemented in a software application. Regarding the calibration, two methods were used, an OpenCV function and a photogrammetry method, which used the same camera model. In evaluating the calibration results, a method is proposed that uses single-image rectification to examine the performance of the calibration parameters in a practical and supervisory way. After an experiment followed by a study, a standard is proposed regarding the number and shooting angles of the photographs that should be used in the calibration. During the development, problems related to processing large images and automating processes were solved. Finally, the procedure and software application were tested in a case study.
