Camera self-calibration method based on GA-PSO algorithm

This paper proposes a new algorithm(GA-PSO) by combining genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization to improve the accuracy of camera self-calibration based on the Kruppa equation. Firstly, the simplified Kruppa equations based on the SVD of the fundamental matrix is converted into the optimized cost function. Secondly, the minimum value of the optimized cost function is calculated by GA-PSO. Finally, the intrinsic parameters of the camera is obtained. The experimental results show that it is accurate, and the accuracy of the proposed method is obviously improved compared with the single optimization methods.
