Customizable Dot Calibration Board
,Dot Calibration Board Chromium Coating
The dot calibration grid is one of the most commonly used high-precision calibration tools in machine vision, industrial measurement, and computer vision — on par with the checkerboard calibration grid. It consists of an array of circular black-and-white dots, typically categorized as symmetrical or asymmetrical dot arrays.
- Extremely high sub-pixel accuracy: Dots possess natural geometric symmetry. By fitting the boundary of the entire circle or calculating the centroid, the algorithm can aggregate information from hundreds or thousands of pixels to determine the center position, achieving positioning accuracy generally superior to traditional corner points such as checkerboard corners.
- Strong anti-distortion capability: Under conditions of wide viewing angles or severe lens distortion, feature extraction from dot arrays is more stable than from square corner points, reducing the likelihood of feature point drift or misidentification.
- High orientation discrimination: The asymmetric circle grid introduces a unique asymmetry in dot arrangement, allowing the algorithm to automatically determine the orientation of the calibration grid from a single image and avoiding calculation errors caused by orientation reversal.
- Camera-based distortion calibration: Used to accurately calculate the camera's focal length, optical center, and lens distortion coefficient prior to machine vision 3D reconstruction, binocular stereo vision, or monocular ranging.
- Industrial high-precision measurement and photogrammetry: Commonly used in aerial photography, large workpiece 3D measurement, and automotive manufacturing, where high precision is required.
- Robot eye-hand calibration: Used in conjunction with the end-effector camera to establish precise mathematical transformations between the camera coordinate system and the robot arm coordinate system.
Parameters and materials can be customized; custom designs based on provided drawings are also available. The dot calibration plate substrate is optional — different substrates (such as glass, ceramics, film, aluminum plates, etc.) can be customized according to different application scenarios, environments, and precision requirements.
