Abstract
A typical 3D color digitization system is composed of 3D sensors to obtain 3D information, and color sensors to obtain color information. Sensor calibration plays a key role in determining the correctness and accuracy of the 3D color digitization data. In order to carry out the calibration quickly and accurately, this paper introduces an automated calibration process which utilizes 3D dynamic precision fiducials, with which calibration dot pairs are extracted automatically, and as the corresponding data are processed via a calibration algorithm. This automated was experimentally verified to be fast and effective. Both the 3D information and color information are extracted such that the 3D sensors and the color sensors are calibrated with one automated calibration process. We believe it is the first such calibration process for a 3D color digitization system.
