Abstract
A calibration method for merging object coordinates and a calibration board device using the same are provided. The calibration board device has a plurality of characteristic points and a central reflection element. A center of the central reflection element has a central characteristic point. A distance sensor emits a distance sensing signal to the central reflection element, so as to obtain a central real coordinate. Intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a camera is used to establish a transformation equation which transforms the central real coordinate into a central image coordinate. Finally, a calibration image of the calibration board device is retrieved, and the central characteristic point is searched, and the central image coordinate is projected on the calibration image whereby the central image coordinate is calibrated to aim at the central characteristic point on the calibration image, thereby generating extrinsic and intrinsic parameter parameters calibrated.
