Cross-point calibration method for the Scheimpflug measurement system

The Scheimpflug measurement system has broad application prospects in the fields of tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV), ophthalmology, and three-dimensional reconstruction. Additionally, its special imaging structure makes the theoretical model of other traditional calibration methods no longer applicable. A cross-point calibration method in which the real-world coordinate system is transferred from an in-kind calibrator to displacement, achieving great improvements in the quantity and accuracy of the feature points, is proposed. This method, which makes up for the defects introduced by the distorted imaging plane, also in turn simplifies the calibration process. Finally, the proposed method is tested via both simulation and calibration experiments. The high calibration accuracy verifies that the method is feasible.
