Geometric calibration of a camera or a stereoscopic vision sensor

The projection model

The pinhole model [1, 2, 3, 4] helps modeling a camera by a perspective projection. This model tranforms a 3D point into an image-point and may be split into three successive basic transformations (see Figure 2).
