Abstract
A camera unit calibrating apparatus performs measurement based on images of an object acquired from different viewpoints by cameras. The apparatus includes a collimator unit including collimators each corresponding to a camera, collimator driving devices corresponding to the collimators, plane mirrors reflecting collimated beams from the collimators in predetermined directions, mirror driving devices corresponding to the plane mirrors, a support unit supporting the collimators to allow the collimators to be translated individually within a predetermined plane and also supporting the plane mirrors swingably, and a collimator control unit controlling the collimators and the collimator and mirror driving devices; and a control unit controlling the collimator unit. The control unit controls the collimator and mirror driving devices to individually set the collimators and the plane mirrors to predetermined positions and orientations, and causes each collimated image to be formed at a desired position within a range of a camera's imaging area.
