stereoCalibrationErrors

Object for storing standard errors of estimated stereo parameters

expand all in page

Description

The stereoCalibrationErrors object contains the standard errors of the estimated calibration parameters of a pair of stereo cameras. The object stores the estimated intrinsic parameters for camera one and camera two, the extrinsic parameters for camera one, and the rotation and translation of camera two relative to camera one. You can access the standard error values by using the object properties. To display the standard errors, use the displayErrors object function.

Creation

Create a stereo camera calibration errors object by using the estimateCameraParameters function to calibrate a pair of stereo cameras. The stereoCalibrationErrors object is the third output argument of the estimateCameraParameters function. For example:

[params,imgsUsed,Errors] = estimateCameraParameters(imagePoints,worldPoints)

Properties

Specify two sets of calibration images.

imageDir = fullfile(toolboxdir("vision"),"visiondata", ...
  "calibration","stereo");
leftImages = imageDatastore(fullfile(imageDir,"left"));
rightImages = imageDatastore(fullfile(imageDir,"right"));

Detect the checkerboards.

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

Generate the world coordinates of the corners of the squares. Square size is in millimeters.

squareSize = 108;
worldPoints = patternWorldPoints("checkerboard",boardSize,squareSize);

Calibrate the stereo camera system. Here, both cameras have the same resolution.

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

Display standard stereo calibration errors.
