Zusammenfassung:An exemplary camera calibration apparatus includes a movable, e.g., rotatable, support structure which is controllably positioned to allow for image capture of different test patterns and image capture of the same pattern at different distances by a mounted camera. A first test pattern is mounted on a wall, e.g., a pyramid shaped 4 sided wall formed by panels surrounding the camera under calibration. The movable support structure has a first mirror attached to a first side and has a second test pattern attached to a second side. A second mirror mounted on an internal sidewall of the calibration apparatus housing facilities a different image path distance between the camera capturing the image of the first test pattern and the first test pattern. The exemplary camera calibration apparatus is well suited for efficiently calibrating camera devices including a plurality of camera modules, e.g., optical chains, in a relatively small area.
