Abstract
We propose a flexible technique to easily calibrate a camera. It only requires the camera to observe a planar pattern shown at a few (at least two) different orientations. Either the camera or the planar pattern can be freely moved. The motion need not be known. Radial lens distortion is modeled. The proposed procedure consists of a closed-form solution, followed by a nonlinear refinement based on the maximum likelihood criterion. Both computer simulation and real data have been used to test the proposed technique and very good results have been obtained. Compared with classical techniques which use expensive equipment such as two or three orthogonal planes, the proposed technique is easy to use and flexible. It advances 3D computer vision one more step from laboratory environments to real world use.

Self-Calibration of a Moving Camera from PointCorrespondences and Fundamental Matrices

TL;DR: It is shown that point correspondences between three images, and the fundamental matrices computed from these point correspondence are sufficient to recover the internal orientation of the camera, the motion parameters, and to compute coherent perspective projection matrices which enable us to reconstruct 3-D structure up to a similarity.

Self-calibration from multiple views with a rotating camera

TL;DR: There is no epipolar structure since all images are taken from the same point in space and determination of point matches is considerably easier than for images taken with a moving camera, since problems of occlusion or change of aspect or illumination do not occur.
