Abstract

An on-board camera calibration device with high productivity is provided which allows speedy calibration of the on-board camera with high precision with a simple construction. Based on an actual coordinate specified in a projecting plane of a camera coordinate system and a converted coordinate obtained by converting an initial coordinate of a calibration point with using unfixed camera adjustment values, the adjustment values corresponding to angles of rotation about one or two axes from among three axes of the camera coordinate system are calculated and the camera adjustment values are updated. Based on the actual coordinate and the converted coordinate in accordance with the updated camera adjustment values, the adjustment values corresponding to angles of rotation about the remaining axes of the camera coordinate system is calculated and the camera adjustment values are updated. When the predetermined completion condition is satisfied, the updated camera adjustment values are fixed.
