We present a sample of 9 nearby F-type stars with detailed spectroscopic analyses to investigate the Basel Stellar Library (BaSeL) in two photometric systems simultaneously, Johnson UBV and Stromgren uvby. The sample corresponds to potential targets of the central seismology programme of the COROT (COnvection & ROtation) space experiment, which have been recently observed at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP, France). The atmospheric parameters Teff, [Fe/H], and log g obtained from the BaSeL models are compared with spectroscopic determinations as well as with results of other photometric calibrations (the TEMPLOGG method and the catalogue of Marsakov & Shevelev, 1995). Moreover, new rotational velocity determinations are also derived from the spectroscopic analysis and compared with previous results compiled in the SIMBAD database. For a careful interpretation of the BaSeL solutions, we computed confidence regions around the best chi^2-estimates and projected them on Teff-[Fe/H], Teff-log g, and log g-[Fe/H] diagrams. In order to simultaneously and accurately determine the stellar parameters Teff, [Fe/H] and log g, we suggest to use the combination of the synthetic BaSeL indices B-V, U-B and b-y (rather than the full photometric information available for these stars: B-V, U-B, b-y, m1 and c1) and we present complete results in 3 different diagrams, along with the results of other methods (photometric and spectroscopic). All the methods presented give consistent solutions, and the agreement between TEMPLOGG and BaSeL for the hottest stars of the sample could be especially useful in view of the well-known difficulty of spectroscopic determinations for fast rotating stars. Finally, we present current and future developments of the BaSeL models for a systematic application to all the COROT targets.
