calibrateCamera

public static double calibrateCamera(java.util.List<Mat> objectPoints,
                                     java.util.List<Mat> imagePoints,
                                     Size imageSize,
                                     Mat cameraMatrix,
                                     Mat distCoeffs,
                                     java.util.List<Mat> rvecs,
                                     java.util.List<Mat> tvecs)

Finds the camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters from several views of a calibration pattern.

The function estimates the intrinsic camera parameters and extrinsic parameters for each of the views. The algorithm is based on [Zhang2000] and [BouguetMCT]. The coordinates of 3D object points and their corresponding 2D projections in each view must be specified. That may be achieved by using an object with a known geometry and easily detectable feature points. Such an object is called a calibration rig or calibration pattern, and OpenCV has built-in support for a chessboard as a calibration rig (see "findChessboardCorners"). Currently, initialization of intrinsic parameters (when CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is not set) is only implemented for planar calibration patterns (where Z-coordinates of the object points must be all zeros). 3D calibration rigs can also be used as long as initial cameraMatrix is provided.

The algorithm performs the following steps:

The function returns the final re-projection error.

Note:

If you use a non-square (=non-NxN) grid and "findChessboardCorners" for calibration, and calibrateCamera returns bad values (zero distortion coefficients, an image center very far from (w/2-0.5,h/2-0.5), and/or large differences between f_x and f_y (ratios of 10:1 or more)), then you have probably used patternSize=cvSize(rows,cols) instead of using patternSize=cvSize(cols,rows) in "findChessboardCorners".

Parameters:
objectPoints - In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of calibration pattern points in the calibration pattern coordinate space. The outer vector contains as many elements as the number of the pattern views. If the same calibration pattern is shown in each view and it is fully visible, all the vectors will be the same. Although, it is possible to use partially occluded patterns, or even different patterns in different views. Then, the vectors will be different. The points are 3D, but since they are in a pattern coordinate system, then, if the rig is planar, it may make sense to put the model to a XY coordinate plane so that Z-coordinate of each input object point is 0.

In the old interface all the vectors of object points from different views are concatenated together.

imagePoints - In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of the projections of calibration pattern points. imagePoints.size() and objectPoints.size() and imagePoints[i].size() must be equal to objectPoints[i].size() for each i.

In the old interface all the vectors of object points from different views are concatenated together.

imageSize - Size of the image used only to initialize the intrinsic camera matrix.
cameraMatrix - Output 3x3 floating-point camera matrix A =

|f_x 0 c_x| |0 f_y c_y| |0 0 1| . If CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS and/or CV_CALIB_FIX_ASPECT_RATIO are specified, some or all of fx, fy, cx, cy must be initialized before calling the function.

distCoeffs - Output vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements.
rvecs - Output vector of rotation vectors (see "Rodrigues") estimated for each pattern view. That is, each k-th rotation vector together with the corresponding k-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the model coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the world coordinate space, that is, a real position of the calibration pattern in the k-th pattern view (k=0.. *M* -1).
tvecs - Output vector of translation vectors estimated for each pattern view.

Parameters:
objectPoints - In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of calibration pattern points in the calibration pattern coordinate space. The outer vector contains as many elements as the number of the pattern views. If the same calibration pattern is shown in each view and it is fully visible, all the vectors will be the same.

imagePoints - In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of the projections of calibration pattern points. imagePoints.size() and objectPoints.size() and imagePoints[i].size() must be equal to objectPoints[i].size() for each i.

In the old interface all the vectors of object points from different views are concatenated together.

imageSize - Size of the image used only to initialize the intrinsic camera matrix.
cameraMatrix - Output 3x3 floating-point camera matrix A =

|f_x 0 c_x| |0 f_y c_y| |0 0 1| . If CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS and/or CV_CALIB_FIX_ASPECT_RATIO are specified, some or all of fx, fy, cx, cy must be initialized before calling the function.

distCoeffs - Output vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements.
rvecs - Output vector of rotation vectors (see "Rodrigues") estimated for each pattern view. That is, each k-th rotation vector together with the corresponding k-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the model coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the world coordinate space, that is, a real position of the calibration pattern in the k-th pattern view (k=0.. *M* -1).

Finds the camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters from several views of a calibration pattern.

The function estimates the intrinsic camera parameters and extrinsic parameters for each of the views. The algorithm is based on [Zhang2000] and [BouguetMCT]. The coordinates of 3D object points and their corresponding 2D projections in each view must be specified. That may be achieved by using an object with a known geometry and easily detectable feature points. Such an object is called a calibration rig or calibration pattern, and OpenCV has built-in support for a chessboard as a calibration rig (see "findChessboardCorners"). Currently, initialization of intrinsic parameters (when CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is not set) is only implemented for planar calibration patterns (where Z-coordinates of the object points must be all zeros). 3D calibration rigs can also be used as long as initial cameraMatrix is provided.

The algorithm performs the following steps:

The function returns the final re-projection error.

Note:

If you use a non-square (=non-NxN) grid and "findChessboardCorners" for calibration, and calibrateCamera returns bad values (zero distortion coefficients, an image center very far from (w/2-0.5,h/2-0.5), and/or large differences between f_x and f_y (ratios of 10:1 or more)), then you have probably used patternSize=cvSize(rows,cols) instead of using patternSize=cvSize(cols,rows) in "findChessboardCorners".

Parameters:
objectPoints - In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of calibration pattern points in the calibration pattern coordinate space. The outer vector contains as many elements as the number of the pattern views. If the same calibration pattern is shown in each view and it is fully visible, all the vectors will be the same. Although, it is possible to use partially occluded patterns, or even different patterns in different views. Then, the vectors will be different. The points are 3D, but since they are in a pattern coordinate system, then, if the rig is planar, it may make sense to put the model to a XY coordinate plane so that Z-coordinate of each input object point is 0.

In the old interface all the vectors of object points from different views are concatenated together.

imagePoints - In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of the projections of calibration pattern points. imagePoints.size() and objectPoints.size() and imagePoints[i].size() must be equal to objectPoints[i].size() for each i.

In the old interface all the vectors of object points from different views are concatenated together.

imageSize - Size of the image used only to initialize the intrinsic camera matrix.
cameraMatrix - Output 3x3 floating-point camera matrix A =

|f_x 0 c_x| |0 f_y c_y| |0 0 1| . If CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS and/or CV_CALIB_FIX_ASPECT_RATIO are specified, some or all of fx, fy, cx, cy must be initialized before calling the function.

distCoeffs - Output vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements.
rvecs - Output vector of rotation vectors (see "Rodrigues") estimated for each pattern view. That is, each k-th rotation vector together with the corresponding k-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the model coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the world coordinate space, that is, a real position of the calibration pattern in the k-th pattern view (k=0.. *M* -1).
tvecs - Output vector of translation vectors estimated for each pattern view.
flags - Different flags that may be zero or a combination of the following values:
  • CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS cameraMatrix contains valid initial values of fx, fy, cx, cy that are optimized further. Otherwise, (cx, cy) is initially set to the image center (imageSize is used), and focal distances are computed in a least-squares fashion. Note, that if intrinsic parameters are known, there is no need to use this function just to estimate extrinsic parameters. Use "solvePnP" instead.
  • CV_CALIB_FIX_PRINCIPAL_POINT The principal point is not changed during the global optimization. It stays at the center or at a different location specified when CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set too.
  • CV_CALIB_FIX_ASPECT_RATIO The functions considers only fy as a free parameter. The ratio fx/fy stays the same as in the input cameraMatrix. When CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is not set, the actual input values of fx and fy are ignored, only their ratio is computed and used further.
  • CV_CALIB_ZERO_TANGENT_DIST Tangential distortion coefficients (p_1, p_2) are set to zeros and stay zero.
  • CV_CALIB_FIX_K1,...,CV_CALIB_FIX_K6 The corresponding radial distortion coefficient is not changed during the optimization. If CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set, the coefficient from the supplied distCoeffs matrix is used. Otherwise, it is set to 0.
  • CV_CALIB_RATIONAL_MODEL Coefficients k4, k5, and k6 are enabled. To provide the backward compatibility, this extra flag should be explicitly specified to make the calibration function use the rational model and return 8 coefficients. If the flag is not set, the function computes and returns only 5 distortion coefficients.
criteria - Termination criteria for the iterative optimization algorithm.

The function computes a decomposition of a projection matrix into a calibration and a rotation matrix and the position of a camera.

It optionally returns three rotation matrices, one for each axis, and three Euler angles that could be used in OpenGL.

Filters off small noise blobs (speckles) in the disparity map

Parameters:
img - The input 16-bit signed disparity image
newVal - The disparity value used to paint-off the speckles
maxSpeckleSize - The maximum speckle size to consider it a speckle. Larger blobs are not affected by the algorithm
maxDiff - Maximum difference between neighbor disparity pixels to put them into the same blob. Note that since StereoBM, StereoSGBM and may be other algorithms return a fixed-point disparity map, where disparity values are multiplied by 16, this scale factor should be taken into account when specifying this parameter value.
buf - The optional temporary buffer to avoid memory allocation within the function.

findChessboardCorners

public static boolean findChessboardCorners(Mat image,
                                            Size patternSize,
                                            MatOfPoint2f corners)

Finds the positions of internal corners of the chessboard.

The function attempts to determine whether the input image is a view of the chessboard pattern and locate the internal chessboard corners. The function returns a non-zero value if all of the corners are found and they are placed in a certain order (row by row, left to right in every row). Otherwise, if the function fails to find all the corners or reorder them, it returns 0. For example, a regular chessboard has 8 x 8 squares and 7 x 7 internal corners, that is, points where the black squares touch each other. The detected coordinates are approximate, and to determine their positions more accurately, the function calls "cornerSubPix". You also may use the function "cornerSubPix" with different parameters if returned coordinates are not accurate enough. Sample usage of detecting and drawing chessboard corners:

// C++ code:

Size patternsize(8,6); //interior number of corners

Mat gray =....; //source image

vector corners; //this will be filled by the detected corners

//CALIB_CB_FAST_CHECK saves a lot of time on images

//that do not contain any chessboard corners

bool patternfound = findChessboardCorners(gray, patternsize, corners,

CALIB_CB_ADAPTIVE_THRESH + CALIB_CB_NORMALIZE_IMAGE

+ CALIB_CB_FAST_CHECK);

if(patternfound)

cornerSubPix(gray, corners, Size(11, 11), Size(-1, -1),

TermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_EPS + CV_TERMCRIT_ITER, 30, 0.1));

drawChessboardCorners(img, patternsize, Mat(corners), patternfound);

Note: The function requires white space (like a square-thick border, the wider the better) around the board to make the detection more robust in various environments. Otherwise, if there is no border and the background is dark, the outer black squares cannot be segmented properly and so the square grouping and ordering algorithm fails.

Parameters:
image - Source chessboard view. It must be an 8-bit grayscale or color image.
patternSize - Number of inner corners per a chessboard row and column (patternSize = cvSize(points_per_row,points_per_colum) = cvSize(columns,rows)).
corners - Output array of detected corners.

patternSize - Number of inner corners per a chessboard row and column (patternSize = cvSize(points_per_row,points_per_colum) = cvSize(columns,rows)).
corners - Output array of detected corners.
flags - Various operation flags that can be zero or a combination of the following values:
  • CV_CALIB_CB_ADAPTIVE_THRESH Use adaptive thresholding to convert the image to black and white, rather than a fixed threshold level (computed from the average image brightness).
  • CV_CALIB_CB_NORMALIZE_IMAGE Normalize the image gamma with "equalizeHist" before applying fixed or adaptive thresholding.
  • CV_CALIB_CB_FILTER_QUADS Use additional criteria (like contour area, perimeter, square-like shape) to filter out false quads extracted at the contour retrieval stage.
  • CALIB_CB_FAST_CHECK Run a fast check on the image that looks for chessboard corners, and shortcut the call if none is found. This can drastically speed up the call in the degenerate condition when no chessboard is observed.

public static Mat findFundamentalMat(MatOfPoint2f points1,
                                     MatOfPoint2f points2)

Calculates a fundamental matrix from the corresponding points in two images.

The epipolar geometry is described by the following equation:

[p_2; 1]^T F [p_1; 1] = 0

where F is a fundamental matrix, p_1 and p_2 are corresponding points in the first and the second images, respectively.

The function calculates the fundamental matrix using one of four methods listed above and returns the found fundamental matrix. Normally just one matrix is found. But in case of the 7-point algorithm, the function may return up to 3 solutions (9 x 3 matrix that stores all 3 matrices sequentially).

The calculated fundamental matrix may be passed further to "computeCorrespondEpilines" that finds the epipolar lines corresponding to the specified points. It can also be passed to"stereoRectifyUncalibrated" to compute the rectification transformation.

// C++ code:

// Example. Estimation of fundamental matrix using the RANSAC algorithm

int point_count = 100;

vector points1(point_count);

vector points2(point_count);

// initialize the points here... * /

points2[i] =...;

Mat fundamental_matrix =

findFundamentalMat(points1, points2, FM_RANSAC, 3, 0.99);

Parameters:
points1 - Array of N points from the first image. The point coordinates should be floating-point (single or double precision).
points2 - Array of the second image points of the same size and format as points1.

findHomography

public static Mat findHomography(MatOfPoint2f srcPoints,
                                 MatOfPoint2f dstPoints)

Finds a perspective transformation between two planes.

The functions find and return the perspective transformation H between the source and the destination planes:

s_i [x'_i y'_i 1] ~ H [x_i y_i 1]

so that the back-projection error

sum _i(x'_i- (h_11 x_i + h_12 y_i + h_13)/(h_(31) x_i + h_32 y_i + h_33))^2+ (y'_i- (h_21 x_i + h_22 y_i + h_23)/(h_(31) x_i + h_32 y_i + h_33))^2

is minimized. If the parameter method is set to the default value 0, the function uses all the point pairs to compute an initial homography estimate with a simple least-squares scheme.

However, if not all of the point pairs (srcPoints_i,dstPoints_i) fit the rigid perspective transformation (that is, there are some outliers), this initial estimate will be poor. In this case, you can use one of the two robust methods. Both methods, RANSAC and LMeDS, try many different random subsets of the corresponding point pairs (of four pairs each), estimate the homography matrix using this subset and a simple least-square algorithm, and then compute the quality/goodness of the computed homography (which is the number of inliers for RANSAC or the median re-projection error for LMeDs). The best subset is then used to produce the initial estimate of the homography matrix and the mask of inliers/outliers.

Regardless of the method, robust or not, the computed homography matrix is refined further (using inliers only in case of a robust method) with the Levenberg-Marquardt method to reduce the re-projection error even more.

The method RANSAC can handle practically any ratio of outliers but it needs a threshold to distinguish inliers from outliers. The method LMeDS does not need any threshold but it works correctly only when there are more than 50% of inliers. Finally, if there are no outliers and the noise is rather small, use the default method (method=0).

The function is used to find initial intrinsic and extrinsic matrices. Homography matrix is determined up to a scale. Thus, it is normalized so that h_33=1.

Parameters:
srcPoints - Coordinates of the points in the original plane, a matrix of the type CV_32FC2 or vector.
dstPoints - Coordinates of the points in the target plane, a matrix of the type CV_32FC2 or a vector.

  • CV_RANSAC - RANSAC-based robust method
  • CV_LMEDS - Least-Median robust method
ransacReprojThreshold - Maximum allowed reprojection error to treat a point pair as an inlier (used in the RANSAC method only). That is, if

| dstPoints _i - convertPointsHomogeneous(H * srcPoints _i)| > ransacReprojThreshold

then the point i is considered an outlier. If srcPoints and dstPoints are measured in pixels, it usually makes sense to set this parameter somewhere in the range of 1 to 10.

                                            double alpha)

Returns the new camera matrix based on the free scaling parameter.

The function computes and returns the optimal new camera matrix based on the free scaling parameter. By varying this parameter, you may retrieve only sensible pixels alpha=0, keep all the original image pixels if there is valuable information in the corners alpha=1, or get something in between. When alpha>0, the undistortion result is likely to have some black pixels corresponding to "virtual" pixels outside of the captured distorted image. The original camera matrix, distortion coefficients, the computed new camera matrix, and newImageSize should be passed to "initUndistortRectifyMap" to produce the maps for "remap".

Parameters:
cameraMatrix - Input camera matrix.
distCoeffs - Input vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements. If the vector is NULL/empty, the zero distortion coefficients are assumed.
imageSize - Original image size.
alpha - Free scaling parameter between 0 (when all the pixels in the undistorted image are valid) and 1 (when all the source image pixels are retained in the undistorted image). See "stereoRectify" for details.

Returns the new camera matrix based on the free scaling parameter.

The function computes and returns the optimal new camera matrix based on the free scaling parameter. By varying this parameter, you may retrieve only sensible pixels alpha=0, keep all the original image pixels if there is valuable information in the corners alpha=1, or get something in between. When alpha>0, the undistortion result is likely to have some black pixels corresponding to "virtual" pixels outside of the captured distorted image. The original camera matrix, distortion coefficients, the computed new camera matrix, and newImageSize should be passed to "initUndistortRectifyMap" to produce the maps for "remap".

Parameters:
cameraMatrix - Input camera matrix.
distCoeffs - Input vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements. If the vector is NULL/empty, the zero distortion coefficients are assumed.
imageSize - Original image size.
alpha - Free scaling parameter between 0 (when all the pixels in the undistorted image are valid) and 1 (when all the source image pixels are retained in the undistorted image). See "stereoRectify" for details.
newImgSize - a newImgSize
validPixROI - Optional output rectangle that outlines all-good-pixels region in the undistorted image. See roi1, roi2 description in "stereoRectify".
centerPrincipalPoint - Optional flag that indicates whether in the new camera matrix the principal point should be at the image center or not. By default, the principal point is chosen to best fit a subset of the source image (determined by alpha) to the corrected image.

                                 MatOfPoint2f imagePoints)

Projects 3D points to an image plane.

The function computes projections of 3D points to the image plane given intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. Optionally, the function computes Jacobians - matrices of partial derivatives of image points coordinates (as functions of all the input parameters) with respect to the particular parameters, intrinsic and/or extrinsic. The Jacobians are used during the global optimization in "calibrateCamera", "solvePnP", and "stereoCalibrate". The function itself can also be used to compute a re-projection error given the current intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.

Note: By setting rvec=tvec=(0,0,0) or by setting cameraMatrix to a 3x3 identity matrix, or by passing zero distortion coefficients, you can get various useful partial cases of the function. This means that you can compute the distorted coordinates for a sparse set of points or apply a perspective transformation (and also compute the derivatives) in the ideal zero-distortion setup.

Parameters:
objectPoints - Array of object points, 3xN/Nx3 1-channel or 1xN/Nx1 3-channel (or vector), where N is the number of points in the view.
rvec - Rotation vector. See "Rodrigues" for details.
tvec - Translation vector.
cameraMatrix - Camera matrix A =

|f_x 0 c_x| |0 f_y c_y| |0 0 _1| .

distCoeffs - Input vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements. If the vector is NULL/empty, the zero distortion coefficients are assumed.
imagePoints - Output array of image points, 2xN/Nx2 1-channel or 1xN/Nx1 2-channel, or vector.

Projects 3D points to an image plane.

The function computes projections of 3D points to the image plane given intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. Optionally, the function computes Jacobians - matrices of partial derivatives of image points coordinates (as functions of all the input parameters) with respect to the particular parameters, intrinsic and/or extrinsic. The Jacobians are used during the global optimization in "calibrateCamera", "solvePnP", and "stereoCalibrate". The function itself can also be used to compute a re-projection error given the current intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.

Note: By setting rvec=tvec=(0,0,0) or by setting cameraMatrix to a 3x3 identity matrix, or by passing zero distortion coefficients, you can get various useful partial cases of the function. This means that you can compute the distorted coordinates for a sparse set of points or apply a perspective transformation (and also compute the derivatives) in the ideal zero-distortion setup.

Parameters:
objectPoints - Array of object points, 3xN/Nx3 1-channel or 1xN/Nx1 3-channel (or vector), where N is the number of points in the view.
rvec - Rotation vector. See "Rodrigues" for details.
tvec - Translation vector.
cameraMatrix - Camera matrix A =

|f_x 0 c_x| |0 f_y c_y| |0 0 _1| .

distCoeffs - Input vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements. If the vector is NULL/empty, the zero distortion coefficients are assumed.
imagePoints - Output array of image points, 2xN/Nx2 1-channel or 1xN/Nx1 2-channel, or vector.
jacobian - Optional output 2Nx(10+) jacobian matrix of derivatives of image points with respect to components of the rotation vector, translation vector, focal lengths, coordinates of the principal point and the distortion coefficients. In the old interface different components of the jacobian are returned via different output parameters.
aspectRatio - Optional "fixed aspect ratio" parameter. If the parameter is not 0, the function assumes that the aspect ratio (*fx/fy*) is fixed and correspondingly adjusts the jacobian matrix.

Reprojects a disparity image to 3D space.

The function transforms a single-channel disparity map to a 3-channel image representing a 3D surface. That is, for each pixel (x,y) andthe corresponding disparity d=disparity(x,y), it computes:

The matrix Q can be an arbitrary 4 x 4 matrix (for example, the one computed by "stereoRectify"). To reproject a sparse set of points {(x,y,d),...} to 3D space, use "perspectiveTransform".

Parameters:
disparity - Input single-channel 8-bit unsigned, 16-bit signed, 32-bit signed or 32-bit floating-point disparity image.
_3dImage - Output 3-channel floating-point image of the same size as disparity. Each element of _3dImage(x,y) contains 3D coordinates of the point (x,y) computed from the disparity map.

                                     Mat F)

Calibrates the stereo camera.

The function estimates transformation between two cameras making a stereo pair. If you have a stereo camera where the relative position and orientation of two cameras is fixed, and if you computed poses of an object relative to the first camera and to the second camera, (R1, T1) and (R2, T2), respectively (this can be done with "solvePnP"), then those poses definitely relate to each other. This means that, given (R_1,T_1), it should be possible to compute (R_2,T_2). You only need to know the position and orientation of the second camera relative to the first camera. This is what the described function does. It computes (R,T) so that:

R_2=R*R_1<BR>T_2=R*T_1 + T,

Optionally, it computes the essential matrix E:

E= |0 -T_2 T_1| |T_2 0 -T_0| |-T_1 T_0 0|

  • R

where T_i are components of the translation vector T : T=[T_0, T_1, T_2]^T. And the function can also compute the fundamental matrix F:

F = cameraMatrix2^(-T) E cameraMatrix1^(-1)

Besides the stereo-related information, the function can also perform a full calibration of each of two cameras. However, due to the high dimensionality of the parameter space and noise in the input data, the function can diverge from the correct solution. If the intrinsic parameters can be estimated with high accuracy for each of the cameras individually (for example, using "calibrateCamera"), you are recommended to do so and then pass CV_CALIB_FIX_INTRINSIC flag to the function along with the computed intrinsic parameters. Otherwise, if all the parameters are estimated at once, it makes sense to restrict some parameters, for example, pass CV_CALIB_SAME_FOCAL_LENGTH and CV_CALIB_ZERO_TANGENT_DIST flags, which is usually a reasonable assumption.

Similarly to "calibrateCamera", the function minimizes the total re-projection error for all the points in all the available views from both cameras. The function returns the final value of the re-projection error.

Parameters:
objectPoints - Vector of vectors of the calibration pattern points.
imagePoints1 - Vector of vectors of the projections of the calibration pattern points, observed by the first camera.
imagePoints2 - Vector of vectors of the projections of the calibration pattern points, observed by the second camera.
cameraMatrix1 - Input/output first camera matrix:

|f_x^j 0 c_x^j| |0 f_y^j c_y^j| |0 0 1| , j = 0, 1. If any of CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS, CV_CALIB_FIX_ASPECT_RATIO, CV_CALIB_FIX_INTRINSIC, or CV_CALIB_FIX_FOCAL_LENGTH are specified, some or all of the matrix components must be initialized. See the flags description for details.

distCoeffs1 - Input/output vector of distortion coefficients (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6]]) of 4, 5, or 8 elements. The output vector length depends on the flags.
cameraMatrix2 - Input/output second camera matrix. The parameter is similar to cameraMatrix1.
distCoeffs2 - Input/output lens distortion coefficients for the second camera. The parameter is similar to distCoeffs1.
imageSize - Size of the image used only to initialize intrinsic camera matrix.
R - Output rotation matrix between the 1st and the 2nd camera coordinate systems.

  • CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS Optimize some or all of the intrinsic parameters according to the specified flags. Initial values are provided by the user.
  • CV_CALIB_FIX_PRINCIPAL_POINT Fix the principal points during the optimization.

  • CV_CALIB_FIX_K1,...,CV_CALIB_FIX_K6 Do not change the corresponding radial distortion coefficient during the optimization. If CV_CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set, the coefficient from the supplied distCoeffs matrix is used. Otherwise, it is set to 0.
  • CV_CALIB_RATIONAL_MODEL Enable coefficients k4, k5, and k6. To provide the backward compatibility, this extra flag should be explicitly specified to make the calibration function use the rational model and return 8 coefficients. If the flag is not set, the function computes and returns only 5 distortion coefficients.

                                 Mat Q)

Computes rectification transforms for each head of a calibrated stereo camera.

The function computes the rotation matrices for each camera that (virtually) make both camera image planes the same plane. Consequently, this makes all the epipolar lines parallel and thus simplifies the dense stereo correspondence problem. The function takes the matrices computed by "stereoCalibrate" as input. As output, it provides two rotation matrices and also two projection matrices in the new coordinates. The function distinguishes the following two cases:

  • Horizontal stereo: the first and the second camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly along the x axis (with possible small vertical shift). In the rectified images, the corresponding epipolar lines in the left and right cameras are horizontal and have the same y-coordinate. P1 and P2 look like:

P1 = f 0 cx_1 0 0 f cy 0 0 0 1 0

P2 = f 0 cx_2 T_x*f 0 f cy 0 0 0 1 0,

where T_x is a horizontal shift between the cameras and cx_1=cx_2 if CV_CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.

  • Vertical stereo: the first and the second camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly in vertical direction (and probably a bit in the horizontal direction too). The epipolar lines in the rectified images are vertical and have the same x-coordinate. P1 and P2 look like:

P1 = f 0 cx 0 0 f cy_1 0 0 0 1 0

P2 = f 0 cx 0 0 f cy_2 T_y*f 0 0 1 0,

where T_y is a vertical shift between the cameras and cy_1=cy_2 if CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.

As you can see, the first three columns of P1 and P2 will effectively be the new "rectified" camera matrices. The matrices, together with R1 and R2, can then be passed to "initUndistortRectifyMap" to initialize the rectification map for each camera.

See below the screenshot from the stereo_calib.cpp sample. Some red horizontal lines pass through the corresponding image regions. This means that the images are well rectified, which is what most stereo correspondence algorithms rely on. The green rectangles are roi1 and roi2. You see that their interiors are all valid pixels.

Parameters:
cameraMatrix1 - First camera matrix.
distCoeffs1 - First camera distortion parameters.
cameraMatrix2 - Second camera matrix.
distCoeffs2 - Second camera distortion parameters.
imageSize - Size of the image used for stereo calibration.
R - Rotation matrix between the coordinate systems of the first and the second cameras.
T - Translation vector between coordinate systems of the cameras.
R1 - Output 3x3 rectification transform (rotation matrix) for the first camera.
R2 - Output 3x3 rectification transform (rotation matrix) for the second camera.
P1 - Output 3x4 projection matrix in the new (rectified) coordinate systems for the first camera.
P2 - Output 3x4 projection matrix in the new (rectified) coordinate systems for the second camera.
Q - Output 4 x 4 disparity-to-depth mapping matrix (see "reprojectImageTo3D").

where T_x is a horizontal shift between the cameras and cx_1=cx_2 if CV_CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.

  • Vertical stereo: the first and the second camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly in vertical direction (and probably a bit in the horizontal direction too). The epipolar lines in the rectified images are vertical and have the same x-coordinate. P1 and P2 look like:

P1 = f 0 cx 0 0 f cy_1 0 0 0 1 0

P2 = f 0 cx 0 0 f cy_2 T_y*f 0 0 1 0,

where T_y is a vertical shift between the cameras and cy_1=cy_2 if CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.

As you can see, the first three columns of P1 and P2 will effectively be the new "rectified" camera matrices. The matrices, together with R1 and R2, can then be passed to "initUndistortRectifyMap" to initialize the rectification map for each camera.

See below the screenshot from the stereo_calib.cpp sample. Some red horizontal lines pass through the corresponding image regions. This means that the images are well rectified, which is what most stereo correspondence algorithms rely on. The green rectangles are roi1 and roi2. You see that their interiors are all valid pixels.

Parameters:
cameraMatrix1 - First camera matrix.
distCoeffs1 - First camera distortion parameters.
cameraMatrix2 - Second camera matrix.
distCoeffs2 - Second camera distortion parameters.
imageSize - Size of the image used for stereo calibration.
R - Rotation matrix between the coordinate systems of the first and the second cameras.
T - Translation vector between coordinate systems of the cameras.
R1 - Output 3x3 rectification transform (rotation matrix) for the first camera.
R2 - Output 3x3 rectification transform (rotation matrix) for the second camera.
P1 - Output 3x4 projection matrix in the new (rectified) coordinate systems for the first camera.
P2 - Output 3x4 projection matrix in the new (rectified) coordinate systems for the second camera.
Q - Output 4 x 4 disparity-to-depth mapping matrix (see "reprojectImageTo3D").
flags - Operation flags that may be zero or CV_CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY. If the flag is set, the function makes the principal points of each camera have the same pixel coordinates in the rectified views. And if the flag is not set, the function may still shift the images in the horizontal or vertical direction (depending on the orientation of epipolar lines) to maximize the useful image area.
alpha - Free scaling parameter. If it is -1 or absent, the function performs the default scaling. Otherwise, the parameter should be between 0 and 1. alpha=0 means that the rectified images are zoomed and shifted so that only valid pixels are visible (no black areas after rectification). alpha=1 means that the rectified image is decimated and shifted so that all the pixels from the original images from the cameras are retained in the rectified images (no source image pixels are lost). Obviously, any intermediate value yields an intermediate result between those two extreme cases.
newImageSize - New image resolution after rectification. The same size should be passed to "initUndistortRectifyMap" (see the stereo_calib.cpp sample in OpenCV samples directory). When (0,0) is passed (default), it is set to the original imageSize. Setting it to larger value can help you preserve details in the original image, especially when there is a big radial distortion.
validPixROI1 - Optional output rectangles inside the rectified images where all the pixels are valid. If alpha=0, the ROIs cover the whole images. Otherwise, they are likely to be smaller (see the picture below).
validPixROI2 - Optional output rectangles inside the rectified images where all the pixels are valid. If alpha=0, the ROIs cover the whole images. Otherwise, they are likely to be smaller (see the picture below).

stereoRectifyUncalibrated

                                                Mat H2)

Computes a rectification transform for an uncalibrated stereo camera.

The function computes the rectification transformations without knowing intrinsic parameters of the cameras and their relative position in the space, which explains the suffix "uncalibrated". Another related difference from "stereoRectify" is that the function outputs not the rectification transformations in the object (3D) space, but the planar perspective transformations encoded by the homography matrices H1 and H2. The function implements the algorithm [Hartley99].

Note:

While the algorithm does not need to know the intrinsic parameters of the cameras, it heavily depends on the epipolar geometry. Therefore, if the camera lenses have a significant distortion, it would be better to correct it before computing the fundamental matrix and calling this function. For example, distortion coefficients can be estimated for each head of stereo camera separately by using "calibrateCamera". Then, the images can be corrected using "undistort", or just the point coordinates can be corrected with "undistortPoints".

Parameters:
points1 - Array of feature points in the first image.
points2 - The corresponding points in the second image. The same formats as in "findFundamentalMat" are supported.
F - Input fundamental matrix. It can be computed from the same set of point pairs using "findFundamentalMat".
imgSize - Size of the image.
H1 - Output rectification homography matrix for the first image.
H2 - Output rectification homography matrix for the second image.

threshold - Optional threshold used to filter out the outliers. If the parameter is greater than zero, all the point pairs that do not comply with the epipolar geometry (that is, the points for which |points2[i]^T*F*points1[i]|>threshold) are rejected prior to computing the homographies. Otherwise,all the points are considered inliers.
