Claim 15:
16. A system for calibrating an image capture device, comprising:
a calibration target having a known size, and further including one or more known detectable features included thereon;
a calibration jig to which the calibration target, the calibration jig allowing movement of the calibration target one or more known distances relative to the image capture device; and
a processor for
analyzing one or more of a single or Multiview image set captured by the image capture device;
detecting one or more calibration features in each set;
initializing each of a one or more calibration parameters a corresponding default value;
extracting one or more relevant calibration parameters;
computing an individual cost term for each of the identified relevant calibration parameters;
combining all of the cost terms;
determining if the combination of the cost terms has been minimized;
adjusting the calibration parameters if it is determined that that the combination of the cost terms has not been minimized; and
returning to the step of extracting one or more of the relevant calibration parameters.
