Abstract

A camera automatic calibration method includes determining a camera to be recalibrated; and determining a point-to-point matching relationship between a first projection point set and a first collection point set. The first projection point set is formed in a camera coordinate system when first spatial coordinates, formed by capturing a plurality of test points using cameras other than the camera to be recalibrated, are projected onto the camera to be recalibrated, and the first collection point set is formed by capturing the test points using the camera to be recalibrated. The method includes calculating a distance difference between each point in the first projection point set and a matching point in the first collection point set according to the point-to-point matching relationship; obtaining a new calibration parameter of the camera to be recalibrated; and updating the current calibration parameter of the camera to be recalibrated with the new calibration parameter.
