Light ray based calibration system and method

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for calibrating an optical device, such as a camera. In one example, the system includes a light-emitting device that generates light patterns and an ray generator that is positioned between the light-emitting device and the optical device. The ray generator separates the light emitted as part of the light patterns into a plurality of directional rays. The optical device then captures the directional rays and the captured data, along with data corresponding to the light pattern and the ray generator, are used to calibrate the optical device.
