Using pattern geometry and a line that is captured by a line-scan camera, we calculate the 3-D coordinates of the points corresponding to the straight lines of a pattern that is captured by the line-scan camera. These coordinates are used to obtain the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the line scan using a standard calibration procedure that is based on a recursive least squares method. In this paper, the procedure of calibration and the results obtained for a specific line scan will be shown; specifically, the obtained median residual error is 0.28 pixel. Also, the repetitiveness of the calibration process was verified for a sequence of 500 times.}, issn = {0018-9456 }, doi = {10.1109/TIM.2009.2031344 }, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5286844\&tag=1}, author = {Carlos Andres Luna and Manuel Mazo and Jose L.
