Comparison and Calibration of Mobile Phone Fisheye Lens and Regular Fisheye Lens via Equidistant Model

Abstract EN

Nowadays, mobile phones are more than a device that can only satisfy the communication need between people.

In addition to providing ease to human lives with various applications, lens kits that can be integrated to mobile phones have recently been introduced.

Fisheye lenses that are compliant with mobile phones are one of these new types of equipment.

Since fisheye lenses integrated with mobile phones are lightweight and easy to use, they are advantageous.

In addition to this advantage, whether fisheye lens and mobile phone combination can be used in a photogrammetric way is experimented, and if so, what will be the result.

The main purpose of this study is to test fisheye lens equipment used with mobile phones.

In this study, standard calibration of “Olloclip 3 in one” fisheye lens used with iPhone 4S mobile phone and “Nikon FC-E9” fisheye lens used with Nikon Coolpix8700 are compared based on equidistant model.

The results of these calibrations are analyzed, using photogrammetric bundle block adjustment.

This study suggests a precalibration process of these kinds of hardware for the photogrammetric process in the test field.
