We propose a refinement and validity region expansion process of a 3rd order polynomial calibration based on bundle adjustment. The present methodology can be expanded to any model as long as the mapping is a smooth function. Both methods are tested with a tomographic Particle Tracking Velocimetry measurement whose results are compared in terms of the smoothness and length of the retrieved tracks. The refinement method shows a significant improvement in both the associated PDFs. Similarly, the expansion shows a corresponding behaviour to the original calibration even though a higher degree of smoothness of the tracks is achieved.
