ABSTRACT:
The calibration tool of the present invention is a transparent camera calibration tool in which a plurality of indicator points is spatially distributed and fixed, wherein the indicator points are formed as intersecting points of thin wires extended to the frame by varying the position of the thin wires in the thickness direction and the indicator points are formed as groups of intersecting points of thin wires rendered by extending a plurality of parallel thin wire groups in different directions. The indicator groups are arranged in at least two sets in a non-coplanar relationship and embodied by distributing distinguishable minute particles in a transparent raw material or by marks or similar in the surface of the raw material. Further, a plurality of cameras arranged separately from one another are calibrated in the same coordinate system by using the transparent camera calibration tool, plate tools that are added thereto, and light beams.
