Imaging system calibration using structured light

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for calibrating an imaging system comprising an image-forming optical system between an image display device and an image capture device. The method comprises determining a mapping function that associates a plurality of image display pixels of the image display device with a corresponding plurality of image capture pixels of the image capture device; determining an ideal image capture pixel for one or more of the plurality of image display pixels; and determining a correction function by reducing an error measure between the ideal image capture pixel and the corresponding image capture pixel of the one or more of the plurality of image display pixels, the correction function associating the one or more image capture pixels with one or more corrected image capture pixels. The method may be used to calibrate a camera of a drone, phone camera, a display, a projector, etc.
