Definition
Simplified Active Calibration (SAC) is defined as a set of closed-form and linear mathematical equations to estimate the internal camera parameters in active platforms where the camera rotations are known or can be estimated.
Background
One of the main steps in many computer vision applications is Camera Calibration to find a map** between the 3D world and its projection on the 2D image. Estimating this map** is a twofold process consisting of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. Intrinsic or internal camera parameters are focal length, center of projection, pixel skew, and aspect ratio. Knowing these internal elements, one can project points that are in the camera coordinates onto the 2D image coordinates. Extrinsic parameters, on the other hand, transfer the points into the camera coordinate system and are...
