Abstract: In a calibration method a ring-shaped jig is disposed on a machine tool workpiece. The optical axis of a camera is aligned parallel to an axis of the machine tool. The jig is photographed with the horizontal or the vertical direction of the camera aligned with an axial direction other than the signal direction of the machine tool. The circumferential shape of the jig in the photograph is extracted as a contour. The center position of the jig in the image is calculated from the contour while all distortion correction coefficients in tangential and radial directions are ignored and set to zero. The displacements of the main point of the camera are set to zero. The translation distance, which is an external parameter of calibration, is calculated based on the center position of the jig in the image and the known three-dimensional center position of the jig.
