    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to a camera model for a machine vision application. One example provides instructions executable to receive image data obtained by an image sensor of a camera, the image data capturing a calibration pattern comprising a plurality of calibration features, for each of one or more imaged calibration features in the image data, determine an object space location of the imaged calibration feature, and determine a distance between the object space location and a corresponding ray of a camera model, the camera model defining a plurality of rays that each represent a relationship of an image space location on the image sensor to object space. The instructions are further executable to determine a value of a cost function based on the distances, adjust the camera model until the cost function meets a target condition, and use the camera model in a machine vision application.
