	%X This paper discusses a corner detection algorithm
for camera calibration. Calibration is a necessary step in many
computer vision and image processing applications. Robust
corner detection for an image of a checkerboard is required
to determine intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. In this paper,
an algorithm for fully automatic and robust X-corner detection
is presented. Checkerboard corner points are automatically
found in each image without user interaction or any prior
information regarding the number of rows or columns. The
approach represents each X-corner with a quadratic fitting
function. Using the fact that the X-corners are saddle points,
the coefficients in the fitting function are used to identify each
corner location. The automation of this process greatly simplifies
calibration. Our method is robust against noise and different
camera orientations. Experimental analysis shows the accuracy
of our method using actual images acquired at different camera
locations and orientations.
