Camera Calibration Deon van Gorsel and Michael Chungbin

Importance of Calibration Calibrate: to standardize (as a measuring instrument) by determining the deviation from a standard so as to ascertain the proper correction factors -Merriam Webster

Our Project Could help with the LWIR in making captures better Initial calibration Well calibrated camera can help with finer detail in post-processing Features not visible to the eye may be revealed in Fiji Using a control to standardize images of documents taken standardize use, image document like color checker to ensure camera has not changed

FLIR Calibration FLIR offers two types of calibration: ● Standard Calibration ○ Calibrates camera to the stock specifications ○ For customers who don’t need detailed before and after measurement data

FLIR Calibration ● Extended Calibration ○ Same as standard, but provides a measurement data report. ○ Certificate supplied that certifies camera for usage in critical projects requiring documentation ○ 14 point inspection: http: //www. flir. com/instruments /display/? id=59961

Temperature calibration using control Using an object with known temperature and FLIR tools, temperature can be calibrated Using a temperature probe and either dry ice or boiling water, the camera can be calibrated by using FLIR tools to find the temperature of a point on an image. Calibrating Sensor in environment will be used in Operating temperature Using a control while imaging documents Image control object along with documents to show that the camera is calibrated the same for all images.
