ABSTRACT:
An error in a camera having angular velocity sensors is eliminated. A camera is placed on a rotating table and rotated, angular velocities are detected by angular velocity sensors, and a CZP chart is photographed. The motion of the camera is computed as a locus of motion of a point light source on an imaging plane from the outputs from the angular velocity sensors. The inclination of the locus motion is compared with the inclination of a zero-crossing line which has been obtained by subjecting the photographed image to Fourier transformation, to thus compute angles of relative inclination of the angular velocity sensors with respect to the image sensor. Further, when no coincidence exists between the zero-crossing line of the data into which a PSF has been Fourier-transformed and a zero-crossing line of the data into which a photographed image has been Fourier-transformed, a computer computes a correction coefficient from a proportion of an interval between the zero-crossing lines, on condition that an error is included in the angular velocity sensors or the focal length of a photographing lens, and the error is eliminated.
