BP Neural Network Method and Linear Partition Method are proposed to search the mapping relationship between space points and their image points in CCD cameras, which can be adopted to calibrate three-dimensional digitization systems based on optical method. Both of the methods only need the coordinates of calibration points and their corresponding image points’ coordinates as parameters. The principle of the calibration techniques includes the formula and solution procedure is deduced in detail. Calibration experiment results indicate that the use of Linear Partition Method to coplanar points enables its measuring mean relative error to reach 0.44 percent and the use of BP Neural Network Method to non-coplanar points enables its testing accuracy to reach 0.5-0.6 pixels.
