Description
Summary:Camera or lens-based detector calibration is essential for spatial accuracy in applications like dimensional tomography, optical metrology, and computer vision. Many methods and software exist yet there is still a lack of approaches that achieve both high accuracy and robustness while being easy to use and capable of handling a wide range of distortions. Radial lens distortion is common in high-resolution X-ray detector optics used in parallel-beam tomography at synchrotrons. Achieving sub-pixel accuracy requires calibrating with an optical target image. Although methods for characterizing radial distortion are well established, acquired images often also include perspective distortion and optical center offset. Here, we present our approaches to individually characterize and correct both types of distortion using a single calibration image, implemented in the Discorpy software.
