if the camera is of fixed focal length,using the camera caliberation toolbox,we can find the focal length as well as the extrinsic parameters.for that,use a chekerboard,take different photos of it at different angles and store them with a common basename..eg:image1, image2 etc..and add this folder to the current directory of matlab.then use the caliberation tool box.
but i dont know the case if the camera is autofocus..

From an image you need to know the direction (phi,theta, or their proper position [x,y,z]) to a number of identifiable objects in your image. From there onwards it is just to get going!
With the camera at [0,0,0] for slight simplicity, this should be the function to minimize
function err = opt_cal(pars,imsiz,r_objs,im_pos)
err = 0;
rot1 = pars(1);
rot2 = pars(2);
rot3 = pars(3);
f = pars(4);
dudv = pars(5:6);
x = r_objs(:,1);
y = r_objs(:,2);
z = r_objs(:,3);
R = rotation_matrix(rot1,rot2,rot3);
for i1 = 1:length(z),
e_i = R*[x;y;z]/norm([x;y;z]);
theta_i = acos(e_i(3));
phi_i = atan2(e_i(2),e_i(1));
[u_par,v_par] = f*[cos(phi_i),sin(phi_i)]*tan(theta) + imsiz/2+dudv;
err = err + (u_obj-u_par)^2 + (v_obj-v_par)^2;
end
I think that should do it. Come to think about it: What have you done to solve your problem?

opt_cal is the function name that Bjorn gave to the code. A line that starts with "function" defines a new function.

I think you'd have to have some objects of known distance from the camera. Because you can get a scene that looks pretty much the same by being up close with a short focal length lens, or far away with a long focal length lens. But if you're looking at something with different distances they'd look different. Think of how an array of pegs would look with different focal lengths. But just a flat scene (say a picture on a wall) wouldn't look much different. I think you need to study up on your geometrical optics first and then come back here, maybe after trying in the sci.optics newsgroup.
