Abstract
This paper presents an method of self-calibration of varying internal camera parameters that based on image of dual absolute quadric transformation. Absolute dual quadric elements have so large differences in magnitude that solutions are extremely sensitive to noise.Through the transformation, all the elements of the image of dual absolute quadric are transformed into the same magnitude, So the solutions become more stable. The theorical analysis and experiments with both simulated and real data demonstrate that this self-calibration method can lead to an enormous improvement on the stability and robustness of the results without increasing computation.
