Abstract
A calibration method for a distance measurement device that is mounted inside a moving body, images outside of the moving body without intervention of a transparent body, and calculates a distance to an object by using disparity between images captured from at least two points of view, the method including: a first process of capturing a first-image-for-calibration and a second-image-for-calibration at different distances between a first-object-for-calibration and the distance measurement device without intervention of the transparent body and calculating correction information for converting disparity information calculated from image information of each of the first-image-for-calibration and the second-image-for-calibration into distance information; and a second process of capturing a third-image-for-calibration from a second-object-for-calibration that is located at least at one distance via the transparent body and modifying the correction information calculated in the first process on the basis of image information of at least the captured third-image-for-calibration.
