Abstract
This paper discusses aspects of automatic camera calibration in automation systems. Three different scenarios are analysed: an AGV-system, a warehouse automation system, and a robot system. The properties of two methods for automatic camera calibration using multi-view 2-D calibration planes are investigated. It is found that the achievable calibration accuracy is comparable to methods using 3-D calibration objects.
