Detemining Focal length of lens by an image

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   How should design a setup for determining the focal length of a CCD in CMOS TDI camera sensor with an integrated lens to determine the focal length of that lens? I want to verify the focal length information that is provided by the manufacturer which is 580mm with FOV 2.4 degrees.

	Not likely to happen from a published image. You have no known measurements for data.
	Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore. Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again.

	I am planning to take the photo myself. I want to know if there is a way by keeping the object at specific distance and capturing can help me calculate the focal length accurately. I want to check if the focal length is correct.

	Do you know the pixel pitch of the sensor? If you do, it is easy to calculate. ILya
