Checkerboard corner detection method based on neighborhood linear fitting.

To improve the calibration accuracy of a vision measurement system, a checkerboard corner detection method based on linear fitting of the checkerboard local contour is proposed. First, by binarization and morphological dilation of the checkerboard image, the coordinates of two adjacent vertices of adjacent dark squares are obtained; the midpoint of the two vertices is taken as the reference point; the reference dotted array is obtained; and the Zernike moment subpixel method is used to obtain the checkerboard contour data points in the neighborhood of each reference point. Finally, the contour points are classified according to the orientation based on the reference points; two intersecting lines are fitted; and the intersection of the two lines is exactly the corner point that we want to find. A camera calibration experiment was conducted on the same group of checkerboard images. The results show that the calibration results of the corner points obtained based on this method are highly consistent with the OpenCV library function method and the MATLAB Toolbox calibration method, and the reprojection error is smaller. At the same time, it is robust to changes in the light source brightness.
