Calibration boards are commonly used for camera intrinsic parameter checks, intrinsic parameter correction, and hand-eye calibration. This topic introduces the types, models, and mounting methods of calibration boards.

Calibration Board Types and Models

Mech-Mind provides two types of calibration boards: CGB and OCB.

CGB

The following figure shows a CGB-type calibration board (CGB-020 as an example).

cgb
  • The above figure is for reference only; the actual product may differ.

  • The CGB-type calibration board has a 5 x 4 number of calibration circles arranged asymmetrically.

  • d is the calibration circle spacing, that is, the distance along the horizontal/vertical direction between the centers of two adjacent calibration circles.

  • The CGB-type calibration board is one-piece and does not require an additional adapter plate.

OCB

The following figure shows a OCB-type calibration board (OCB-005 as an example).

  • The above figure is for reference only; the actual product may differ.

  • The OCB-type calibration board has a 11 x 9 number of calibration circles.

  • d is the calibration circle spacing, that is, the distance along the horizontal/vertical direction between the centers of two adjacent calibration circles.

  • OCB-type calibration boards have no mounting holes and therefore cannot be mounted on the last joint of the robot. It can be used only when the camera is mounted in the eye in hand (EIH) mode.

Mount or Place the Calibration Board

When a calibration board is used for the intrinsic parameter check or intrinsic parameter correction, you should place the calibration board according to the instructions in Intrinsic Parameter Tool.

If the camera is used in 3D Robot Guidance projects, please mount or place the calibration board according to the instructions in Mount the Calibration Board.
