description A concentric circle target is commonly used in the vision measurement system for its detection accuracy and robustness. To enhance the camera calibration accuracy, this paper proposes an improved calibration method that utilizes concentric circle grids as the calibration target. The method involves accurately locating the imaged center and optimizing camera parameters. The imaged concentric circle center obtained by cross-ratio invariance is not affected by perspective projection, which ensures the location accuracy of the feature point. Subsequently, the impact of lens distortion on camera calibration is comprehensively investigated. The sub-pixel coordinates of imaged centers are taken into the iterative calibration method, and camera parameters are updated. Through simulations and real experiments, the proposed method effectively reduces the residual error and improves the accuracy of camera parameters.
