    An easy line-structured light system calibration method is proposed, which is based on the constructed light plane and homography matrix. In this method, the sequential images of the light plane and calibration target are obtained at different positions by shifting a translating target plane within the depth of camera’s field, then a series of feature points would be extracted from these images to form a light plane. Then, a homography matrix, which is the mapping relationship between the light plane and the image plane of camera, can be calculated. In the experiment, the 3D data can be obtained by using this homography matrix when image coordinates of the light plane are extracted in an arbitrary image. Then the entire object can be measured by using a translation device. For the real data of calibration, the maximum residual error is less than 0.05 mm, standard deviation is less than 0.02 mm, the relative error of the measured distance between the two planes is less than 1.3%. The proposed method can make the entire calibration process easy and flexible to use.
