A Novel Linear Approach to Camera Calibration from Sphere Images

Recently, some linear approaches to camera calibration from sphere images are proposed. In this paper, a novel linear approach is proposed by exploiting the identity constraint on the entries of the matrices for the sphere images, which is much simpler and more intuitive than previous linear ones. This novel algorithm has been tested in extensive experiments with respect to noise sensitivity
