Calibration modeling and stability testing for the Kodak DC200 series digital still camera

This paper reports on initial investigations into appropriate calibration models for and the reliability and stability of the calibration of the Kodak DC200 series cameras. Results of test of different types of digital still cameras are compared, in general, to the DC200 series and then various calibration test of a DC265 camera are presented and analyzed. Block- and photo-invariant camera calibration models are compared to ascertain their suitability for the physical variability of the cameras. In conclusion, this paper makes some recommendations on the potential reliability and stability of the Kodak DC265 camera.© (2000) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
