However, unlike the popular perspective projection camera, a strong distortion effect appears as the periphery of the image is compressed. Such characteristics must be precisely analyzed through camera self-calibration. In this study, we carried out a fish-eye lens camera self-calibration while considering different types of test objects and projection models. Self-calibration was performed using the V-, A-, Plane-, and Room-type test objects. In the fish-eye lens camera, the V-type test object was the most advantageous for ensuring the accuracy of the principal point coordinates and focal length, because the correlations between parameters were relatively low. On the other hand, the other test objects were advantageous for ensuring the accuracy of distortion parameters because of the well-distributed image points. Based on the above analysis, we proposed, an accurate fish-eye lens camera self-calibration method that applies the V-type test object. The RMS-residuals of the proposed method were less than 1 pixel.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19051218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]],"date-time":"2019-03-12T03:49:31Z","timestamp":1552362571000},"page":"1218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Analysis of Fish-Eye Lens Camera Self-Calibration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4110-4386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kang Hyeok","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil &amp;Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University, 599 Gwanak-ro 1, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08826, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongil","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil &amp;Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University, 599 Gwanak-ro 1, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08826, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8742-8621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changjae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Myongji University, 116 Myongji-ro, Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi-do 17058, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Markovi\u0107, I., Chaumette, F., and Petrovi\u0107, I.
