I want to calibrate a line scan camera which captures the image of a flat moving object. I want to avoid the successive application of a non-linear model to describe the lense distortion and a linear model to describe the projective transformation.
Therefore, I fitted a polynomial of order 3 or 4 to describe the deformation of the image points in x and y direction, respectively. It seems to work.
Does anyone know a better model?
The Brown-Conrady model does not describe the deformation very well. Interestingly, the lense distortion smoothly changes during the line scans.
Thank you in advance
