The invention provides a camera calibration apparatus which eliminates the necessity to effect mapping making a distinction among a plurality of characteristic points and can prevent complication in mapping processing even if the number of characteristic points increases. An object imaging section images a sphere whose magnitude and position in a three-dimensional coordinate system are known, and a magnitude/position detection section determines a magnitude and a position of the sphere on a screen from an image imaged by the object imaging section. A center position estimation section estimates a three-dimensional position of the center of the sphere from the magnitude and the position of the sphere on the screen determined by the magnitude/position detection section, and a parameter calculation section calculates a position of the object imaging section in the three-dimensional coordinate system based on the three-dimensional position of the center of the sphere estimated by the center position estimation section.
