Asg 6: OpenCV camera calibration

Assignment

Implement camera cliabration in OpenCV using 
ret, corners = cv2.findChessboardCorners(...)
which will return a list of chessboard corners. You can refine them via 
corners2 = cv2.cornerSubPix(...)
and then use them as input to 
ret, mtx, dist, rvecs, tvecs = cv2.calibrateCamera(...)
to recover the intrinsic and extrinsic matrices.

In this assignment, try printing out a known chessboard (e.g., 9x6) and pasting it to a stiff piece of cardobard.

See if you can use the returned values to undistort whatever camera you are using.

Suggestions (e.g., for Python implementation)

  1. There are probably many suggestions out on the web, e.g.,

Example Program Input

None. Find a short video that you like.

Example Program Output

Ideally an .mp4 video could be made, although that may need to be encoded post-facto by ffmpeg as OpenCV might only output raw video.

Turn in
