Next Tutorial: Camera calibration with square chessboard
Original author | Laurent Berger |
Compatibility | OpenCV >= 3.0 |
The goal of this tutorial is to learn how to create calibration pattern.
You can find a chessboard pattern in https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/pattern.png
You can find a circleboard pattern in https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/acircles_pattern.png
You can find a ChAruco board pattern in https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/charuco_board_pattern.png (7X5 ChAruco board, square size: 30 mm , marker size: 15 mm, aruco dict: DICT_5X5_100, page width: 210 mm, page height: 297 mm)
Now, if you want to create your own pattern, you will need python to use https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/pattern_tools/gen_pattern.py
Example
create a checkerboard pattern in file chessboard.svg with 9 rows, 6 columns and a square size of 20mm:
python gen_pattern.py -o chessboard.svg --rows 9 --columns 6 --type checkerboard --square_size 20
create a circle board pattern in file circleboard.svg with 7 rows, 5 columns and a radius of 15 mm:
python gen_pattern.py -o circleboard.svg --rows 7 --columns 5 --type circles --square_size 15
create a circle board pattern in file acircleboard.svg with 7 rows, 5 columns and a square size of 10mm and less spacing between circle:
python gen_pattern.py -o acircleboard.svg --rows 7 --columns 5 --type acircles --square_size 10 --radius_rate 2
create a radon checkerboard for findChessboardCornersSB() with markers in (7 4), (7 5), (8 5) cells:
python gen_pattern.py -o radon_checkerboard.svg --rows 10 --columns 15 --type radon_checkerboard -s 12.1 -m 7 4 7 5 8 5
create a ChAruco board pattern in charuco_board.svg with 7 rows, 5 columns, square size 30 mm, aruco marker size 15 mm and using DICT_5X5_100 as dictionary for aruco markers (it contains in DICT_ARUCO.json file):
python gen_pattern.py -o charuco_board.svg --rows 7 --columns 5 -T charuco_board --square_size 30 --marker_size 15 -f DICT_5X5_100.json.gz
If you want to change unit use -u option (mm inches, px, m)
If you want to change page size use -w and -h options
If you want to use your own dictionary for ChAruco board your should write name of file with your dictionary. For example
python gen_pattern.py -o charuco_board.svg --rows 7 --columns 5 -T charuco_board -f my_dictionary.json
You can generate your dictionary in my_dictionary.json file with number of markers 30 and markers size 5 bits by using opencv/samples/cpp/aruco_dict_utils.cpp.
bin/example_cpp_aruco_dict_utils.exe my_dict.json -nMarkers=30 -markerSize=5
