    摘要: A method for the calibration of a camera for monitoring additive manufacturing of an object in which material is applied in a plurality of layers is provided. The method includes: a) providing the camera and providing means for additive manufacturing of the object, b) capturing an image of the object being manufactured or already manufactured by the camera, c) comparing the image captured with a model of the object, d) determining a calibration function on the basis of the comparison from step c), which is intended to transform the image captured into a corrected image, wherein the corrected image of the object substantially corresponds to the model of the object, and e) calibrating the camera by the calibration function. Also provided is a computer program comprising commands which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute the steps of the method as well as a related apparatus.
