cameraCalibrationErrors

Object for storing standard errors of estimated camera parameters

expand all in page

Description

cameraCalibrationErrors contains the standard errors of estimated camera parameters. You can access the intrinsics and extrinsics standard errors using the object properties. You can display the standard errors using the object’s displayErrors object function.

Creation

Create a cameraCalibrationErrors object by calling the estimateCameraParameters function.

Properties

Standard error of the estimated intrinsics for a camera, specified as a intrinsicsEstimationErrors object.

Standard error of the estimate rotations and translations for a camera relative to the calibration pattern, specified as a extrinsicsEstimationErrors object.

Create a set of calibration images.

images = imageDatastore(fullfile(toolboxdir('vision'),'visiondata', ...
 'calibration','mono'));

Detect the calibration pattern.

[imagePoints,boardSize] = detectCheckerboardPoints(images.Files);

Generate the world coordinates of the corners of the squares. The units of the square are in millimeters.

squareSize = 29;
worldPoints = patternWorldPoints('checkerboard',boardSize,squareSize);

Calibrate the camera.

I = readimage(images,1); 
imageSize = [size(I,1),size(I,2)];
[params,~,errors] = estimateCameraParameters(imagePoints,worldPoints, ...
                                  'ImageSize',imageSize);

Display the standard errors.

displayErrors(errors,params);
