Camera calibration is necessary for accurate image measurements, particularly in multicamera systems. The calibration process involves corresponding the coordinates of 3D calibration points with a 2D image and requires the establishment of a reliable 3D world coordinate system. This paper presents a convenient multicamera calibration method that uses a rotating calibration plate and multi-view stereo vision to calculate 3D points and their relationship with the image coordinates. Despite simple implementation, the rotation of the calibration plate presents numerous calibration points from various planes, increasing the stability of the solution and the noise reduction. The relocation accuracy and reprojection error are experimentally verified.
