Abstract:
The focal plane of a collimator used for the geometric calibration of an optical camera is a key element in the calibration process. The traditional focal plane of the collimator has only a single aperture light lead-in, resulting in a relatively unreliable calibration accuracy. Here we demonstrate a multi-aperture micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) light lead-in device that is located at the optical focal plane of the collimator used to calibrate the geometric distortion in cameras. Without additional volume or power consumption, the random errors of this calibration system are decreased by the multi-image matrix. With this new construction and a method for implementing the system, the reliability of high-accuracy calibration of optical cameras is guaranteed.
