Abstract
Calibrating camera intrinsics to produce a camera model is an essential, time-consuming and labor-intensive process in virtual film production. Personnel with technical expertise and experience must make manual adjustments to lens configurations and perform repetitive image detection procedures. Since calibration needs to be performed multiple times across different system setups within tight time constraints, automating the process would reduce the time and cost of virtual film production. The Automated Camera Calibration (ACC) software was developed to automate lens adjustments through motor-enabled camera components and conduct real-time image detection. Validation methods showed that ACC can complete camera calibration 3.59 times faster than conventional methods.
