Abstract
A method for calibrating a vehicle cabin camera having: a pitch, yaw and roll angle; and a field of view capturing vehicle cabin features which are symmetric about a vehicle longitudinal axis comprises: selecting points from within an image of the vehicle cabin and projecting the points onto a 3D unit circle in accordance with a camera projection model. For each of one or more rotations of a set of candidate yaw and roll rotations, the method comprises: rotating the projected points with the rotation; flipping the rotated points about a pitch axis; counter-rotating the projected points with an inverse of the rotation; and mapping the counter-rotated points back into an image plane to provide a set of transformed points. A candidate rotation which provides a best match between the set of transformed points and the locations of the selected points in the image plane is selected.
