Computes an optimal affine transformation between two 2D point sets.
It computes
\begin{bmatrix} x\ y\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12}\ a_{21} & a_{22}\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X\ Y\ \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} b_1\ b_2\ \end{bmatrix}- cv::RANSAC - RANSAC-based robust method
- cv::LMEDS - Least-Median robust method RANSAC is the default method.
The function estimates an optimal 2D affine transformation between two 2D point sets using the selected robust algorithm.
The computed transformation is then refined further (using only inliers) with the Levenberg-Marquardt method to reduce the re-projection error even more.
@note The RANSAC method can handle practically any ratio of outliers but 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.
Declaration
Parameters
from
First input 2D point set containing
(X,Y).to
Second input 2D point set containing
(x,y).inliers
Output vector indicating which points are inliers (1-inlier, 0-outlier).
method
Robust method used to compute transformation. The following methods are possible:
ransacReprojThreshold
Maximum reprojection error in the RANSAC algorithm to consider a point as an inlier. Applies only to RANSAC.
maxIters

confidence
Confidence level, between 0 and 1, for the estimated transformation. Anything between 0.95 and 0.99 is usually good enough. Values too close to 1 can slow down the estimation significantly. Values lower than 0.8-0.9 can result in an incorrectly estimated transformation.
refineIters
Maximum number of iterations of refining algorithm (Levenberg-Marquardt). Passing 0 will disable refining, so the output matrix will be output of robust method.
Return Value
Output 2D affine transformation matrix
2 \times 3or empty matrix if transformation could not be estimated. The returned matrix has the following form:\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & b_1\ a_{21} & a_{22} & b_2\ \end{bmatrix} -

Estimated transformation matrix is:
\begin{bmatrix} \cos(\theta) \cdot s & -\sin(\theta) \cdot s & t_x \ \sin(\theta) \cdot s & \cos(\theta) \cdot s & t_y \end{bmatrix}Where\thetais the rotation angle,sthe scaling factor andt_x, t_yare translations inx, yaxes respectively.@note The RANSAC method can handle practically any ratio of outliers but need 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.

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 three robust methods. The methods RANSAC, LMeDS and RHO try many different random subsets of the corresponding point pairs (of four pairs each, collinear pairs are discarded), estimate the homography matrix using this subset and a simple least-squares algorithm, and then compute the quality/goodness of the computed homography (which is the number of inliers for RANSAC or the least 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 methods RANSAC and RHO can handle practically any ratio of outliers but need 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).

-
Returns the default new camera matrix.
The function returns the camera matrix that is either an exact copy of the input cameraMatrix (when centerPrinicipalPoint=false ), or the modified one (when centerPrincipalPoint=true).
In the latter case, the new camera matrix will be:
\begin{bmatrix} f_x && 0 && ( \texttt{imgSize.width} -1)*0.5 \ 0 && f_y && ( \texttt{imgSize.height} -1)*0.5 \ 0 && 0 && 1 \end{bmatrix} ,where
f_xandf_yare(0,0)and(1,1)elements of cameraMatrix, respectively.By default, the undistortion functions in OpenCV (see #initUndistortRectifyMap, #undistort) do not move the principal point. However, when you work with stereo, it is important to move the principal points in both views to the same y-coordinate (which is required by most of stereo correspondence algorithms), and may be to the same x-coordinate too. So, you can form the new camera matrix for each view where the principal points are located at the center.

Estimates the sharpness of a detected chessboard.
Image sharpness, as well as brightness, are a critical parameter for accuracte camera calibration. For accessing these parameters for filtering out problematic calibraiton images, this method calculates edge profiles by traveling from black to white chessboard cell centers. Based on this, the number of pixels is calculated required to transit from black to white. This width of the transition area is a good indication of how sharp the chessboard is imaged and should be below ~3.0 pixels.
The optional sharpness array is of type CV_32FC1 and has for each calculated profile one row with the following five entries: 0 = x coordinate of the underlying edge in the image 1 = y coordinate of the underlying edge in the image 2 = width of the transition area (sharpness) 3 = signal strength in the black cell (min brightness) 4 = signal strength in the white cell (max brightness)

Finds the positions of internal corners of the chessboard.
- 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).
- CALIB_CB_NORMALIZE_IMAGE Normalize the image gamma with equalizeHist before applying fixed or adaptive thresholding.
- 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.
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: :
Size patternsize(8,6); //interior number of corners Mat gray = ....; //source image vector<Point2f> 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.Declaration

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 = cv::Size(points_per_row,points_per_colum) = cv::Size(columns,rows) ).

-
Finds the positions of internal corners of the chessboard using a sector based approach.
- CALIB_CB_NORMALIZE_IMAGE Normalize the image gamma with equalizeHist before detection.
- CALIB_CB_EXHAUSTIVE Run an exhaustive search to improve detection rate.
- CALIB_CB_ACCURACY Up sample input image to improve sub-pixel accuracy due to aliasing effects.
- CALIB_CB_LARGER The detected pattern is allowed to be larger than patternSize (see description).
- CALIB_CB_MARKER The detected pattern must have a marker (see description). This should be used if an accurate camera calibration is required.
- 0 = no meta data attached
- 1 = left-top corner of a black cell
- 2 = left-top corner of a white cell
- 3 = left-top corner of a black cell with a white marker dot
- 4 = left-top corner of a white cell with a black marker dot (pattern origin in case of markers otherwise first corner)
The function is analog to findchessboardCorners but uses a localized radon transformation approximated by box filters being more robust to all sort of noise, faster on larger images and is able to directly return the sub-pixel position of the internal chessboard corners. The Method is based on the paper CITE: duda2018 “Accurate Detection and Localization of Checkerboard Corners for Calibration” demonstrating that the returned sub-pixel positions are more accurate than the one returned by cornerSubPix allowing a precise camera calibration for demanding applications.
In the case, the flags CALIB_CB_LARGER or CALIB_CB_MARKER are given, the result can be recovered from the optional meta array. Both flags are helpful to use calibration patterns exceeding the field of view of the camera. These oversized patterns allow more accurate calibrations as corners can be utilized, which are as close as possible to the image borders. For a consistent coordinate system across all images, the optional marker (see image below) can be used to move the origin of the board to the location where the black circle is located.
Note
The function requires a white boarder with roughly the same width as one of the checkerboard fields around the whole board to improve the detection in various environments. In addition, because of the localized radon transformation it is beneficial to use round corners for the field corners which are located on the outside of the board. The following figure illustrates a sample checkerboard optimized for the detection. However, any other checkerboard can be used as well.Declaration
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 = cv::Size(points_per_row,points_per_colum) = cv::Size(columns,rows) ).
corners
Output array of detected corners.
flags
Various operation flags that can be zero or a combination of the following values:
meta
Optional output arrray of detected corners (CV_8UC1 and size = cv::Size(columns,rows)). Each entry stands for one corner of the pattern and can have one of the following values:
-
Finds centers in the grid of circles.
- CALIB_CB_SYMMETRIC_GRID uses symmetric pattern of circles.
- CALIB_CB_ASYMMETRIC_GRID uses asymmetric pattern of circles.
- CALIB_CB_CLUSTERING uses a special algorithm for grid detection. It is more robust to perspective distortions but much more sensitive to background clutter.
The function attempts to determine whether the input image contains a grid of circles. If it is, the function locates centers of the circles. The function returns a non-zero value if all of the centers have been found and they have been 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.
Sample usage of detecting and drawing the centers of circles: :
Size patternsize(7,7); //number of centers Mat gray = ....; //source image vector<Point2f> centers; //this will be filled by the detected centers bool patternfound = findCirclesGrid(gray, patternsize, centers); drawChessboardCorners(img, patternsize, Mat(centers), patternfound);

Finds an object pose from 3D-2D point correspondences. This function returns the rotation and the translation vectors that transform a 3D point expressed in the object coordinate frame to the camera coordinate frame, using different methods:
- P3P methods (REF: SOLVEPNP_P3P, REF: SOLVEPNP_AP3P): need 4 input points to return a unique solution.
- REF: SOLVEPNP_IPPE Input points must be >= 4 and object points must be coplanar.
- REF: SOLVEPNP_IPPE_SQUARE Special case suitable for marker pose estimation.
Number of input points must be 4. Object points must be defined in the following order:
- point 0: [-squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 1: [ squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 2: [ squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 3: [-squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]
for all the other flags, number of input points must be >= 4 and object points can be in any configuration.
SOLVEPNP_ITERATIVE Iterative method is based on a Levenberg-Marquardt optimization. In this case the function finds such a pose that minimizes reprojection error, that is the sum of squared distances between the observed projections imagePoints and the projected (using projectPoints ) objectPoints .
SOLVEPNP_P3P Method is based on the paper of X.S. Gao, X.-R. Hou, J. Tang, H.-F. Chang “Complete Solution Classification for the Perspective-Three-Point Problem” (CITE: gao2003complete). In this case the function requires exactly four object and image points.
SOLVEPNP_AP3P Method is based on the paper of T. Ke, S. Roumeliotis “An Efficient Algebraic Solution to the Perspective-Three-Point Problem” (CITE: Ke17). In this case the function requires exactly four object and image points.
SOLVEPNP_EPNP Method has been introduced by F. Moreno-Noguer, V. Lepetit and P. Fua in the paper “EPnP: Efficient Perspective-n-Point Camera Pose Estimation” (CITE: lepetit2009epnp).
SOLVEPNP_DLS Method is based on the paper of J. Hesch and S. Roumeliotis. “A Direct Least-Squares (DLS) Method for PnP” (CITE: hesch2011direct).
SOLVEPNP_UPNP Method is based on the paper of A. Penate-Sanchez, J. Andrade-Cetto, F. Moreno-Noguer. “Exhaustive Linearization for Robust Camera Pose and Focal Length Estimation” (CITE: penate2013exhaustive). In this case the function also estimates the parameters
f_xandf_yassuming that both have the same value. Then the cameraMatrix is updated with the estimated focal length.SOLVEPNP_IPPE Method is based on the paper of T. Collins and A. Bartoli. “Infinitesimal Plane-Based Pose Estimation” (CITE: Collins14). This method requires coplanar object points.
SOLVEPNP_IPPE_SQUARE Method is based on the paper of Toby Collins and Adrien Bartoli. “Infinitesimal Plane-Based Pose Estimation” (CITE: Collins14). This method is suitable for marker pose estimation. It requires 4 coplanar object points defined in the following order:
- point 0: [-squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 1: [ squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 2: [ squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 3: [-squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]
The function estimates the object pose given a set of object points, their corresponding image projections, as well as the camera matrix and the distortion coefficients, see the figure below (more precisely, the X-axis of the camera frame is pointing to the right, the Y-axis downward and the Z-axis forward).
Points expressed in the world frame
\bf{X}_ware projected into the image plane\left[ u, v \right]using the perspective projection model\Piand the camera intrinsic parameters matrix\bf{A}:\begin{align*} \begin{bmatrix} u \ v \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \bf{A} \hspace{0.1em} \Pi \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}\bf{T}_w \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \ \begin{bmatrix} u \ v \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \begin{bmatrix} f_x & 0 & c_x \ 0 & f_y & c_y \ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} r_{11} & r_{12} & r_{13} & t_x \ r_{21} & r_{22} & r_{23} & t_y \ r_{31} & r_{32} & r_{33} & t_z \ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \end{align*}The estimated pose is thus the rotation (
rvec
) and the translation (tvec
) vectors that allow transforming a 3D point expressed in the world frame into the camera frame:\begin{align*} \begin{bmatrix} X_c \ Y_c \ Z_c \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}\bf{T}_w \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \ \begin{bmatrix} X_c \ Y_c \ Z_c \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \begin{bmatrix} r_{11} & r_{12} & r_{13} & t_x \ r_{21} & r_{22} & r_{23} & t_y \ r_{31} & r_{32} & r_{33} & t_z \ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \end{align*}@note - An example of how to use solvePnP for planar augmented reality can be found at opencv_source_code/samples/python/plane_ar.py - If you are using Python: - Numpy array slices won’t work as input because solvePnP requires contiguous arrays (enforced by the assertion using cv::Mat::checkVector() around line 55 of modules/calib3d/src/solvepnp.cpp version 2.4.9) - The P3P algorithm requires image points to be in an array of shape (N,1,2) due to its calling of cv::undistortPoints (around line 75 of modules/calib3d/src/solvepnp.cpp version 2.4.9) which requires 2-channel information. - Thus, given some data D = np.array(…) where D.shape = (N,M), in order to use a subset of it as, e.g., imagePoints, one must effectively copy it into a new array: imagePoints = np.ascontiguousarray(D[:,:2]).reshape((N,1,2)) - The methods SOLVEPNP_DLS and SOLVEPNP_UPNP cannot be used as the current implementations are unstable and sometimes give completely wrong results. If you pass one of these two flags, SOLVEPNP_EPNP method will be used instead. - The minimum number of points is 4 in the general case. In the case of SOLVEPNP_P3P and SOLVEPNP_AP3P methods, it is required to use exactly 4 points (the first 3 points are used to estimate all the solutions of the P3P problem, the last one is used to retain the best solution that minimizes the reprojection error). - With SOLVEPNP_ITERATIVE method and
useExtrinsicGuess=true
, the minimum number of points is 3 (3 points are sufficient to compute a pose but there are up to 4 solutions). The initial solution should be close to the global solution to converge. - With SOLVEPNP_IPPE input points must be >= 4 and object points must be coplanar. - With SOLVEPNP_IPPE_SQUARE this is a special case suitable for marker pose estimation. Number of input points must be 4. Object points must be defined in the following order: - point 0: [-squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0] - point 1: [ squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0] - point 2: [ squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0] - point 3: [-squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]Declaration

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 CITE: 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 .

The function estimates the intrinsic camera parameters and extrinsic parameters for each of the views. The algorithm is based on CITE: Zhang2000 and CITE: 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 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 REF: findChessboardCorners). Currently, initialization of intrinsic parameters (when 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:
Compute the initial intrinsic parameters (the option only available for planar calibration patterns) or read them from the input parameters. The distortion coefficients are all set to zeros initially unless some of CALIB_FIX_K? are specified.
Estimate the initial camera pose as if the intrinsic parameters have been already known. This is done using solvePnP .
Run the global Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm to minimize the reprojection error, that is, the total sum of squared distances between the observed feature points imagePoints and the projected (using the current estimates for camera parameters and the poses) object points objectPoints. See projectPoints for details.

Parameters
objectPoints
In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of calibration pattern points in the calibration pattern coordinate space (e.g. std::vectorstd::vector<cv::Vec3f>). The outer vector contains as many elements as the number of 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. Although the points are 3D, they all lie in the calibration pattern’s XY coordinate plane (thus 0 in the Z-coordinate), if the used calibration pattern is a planar rig. 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 (e.g. std::vectorstd::vector<cv::Vec2f>). imagePoints.size() and objectPoints.size(), and imagePoints[i].size() and objectPoints[i].size() for each i, must be equal, respectively.

Output vector of rotation vectors (REF: Rodrigues ) estimated for each pattern view (e.g. std::vectorcv::Mat>). That is, each i-th rotation vector together with the corresponding i-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the object coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the camera coordinate space. In more technical terms, the tuple of the i-th rotation and translation vector performs a change of basis from object coordinate space to camera coordinate space. Due to its duality, this tuple is equivalent to the position of the calibration pattern with respect to the camera coordinate space.

Output vector of translation vectors estimated for each pattern view, see parameter describtion above.

Output vector of rotation vectors (REF: Rodrigues ) estimated for each pattern view (e.g. std::vectorcv::Mat>). That is, each i-th rotation vector together with the corresponding i-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the object coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the camera coordinate space. In more technical terms, the tuple of the i-th rotation and translation vector performs a change of basis from object coordinate space to camera coordinate space. Due to its duality, this tuple is equivalent to the position of the calibration pattern with respect to the camera coordinate space.
tvecs
Output vector of translation vectors estimated for each pattern view, see parameter describtion above.
stdDeviationsIntrinsics

(R_0, T_0, \dotsc , R_{M - 1}, T_{M - 1})where M is the number of pattern views.R_i, T_iare concatenated 1x3 vectors.perViewErrors

- 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.
- 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 CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set too.
- CALIB_FIX_ASPECT_RATIO The functions consider only fy as a free parameter. The ratio fx/fy stays the same as in the input cameraMatrix . When 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.
- CALIB_ZERO_TANGENT_DIST Tangential distortion coefficients (p_1, p_2)are set to zeros and stay zero.
- CALIB_FIX_K1,…,CALIB_FIX_K6 The corresponding radial distortion coefficient is not changed during the optimization. If CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set, the coefficient from the supplied distCoeffs matrix is used. Otherwise, it is set to 0.
- 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.
- CALIB_THIN_PRISM_MODEL Coefficients s1, s2, s3 and s4 are enabled. To provide the backward compatibility, this extra flag should be explicitly specified to make the calibration function use the thin prism model and return 12 coefficients. If the flag is not set, the function computes and returns only 5 distortion coefficients.
- CALIB_FIX_S1_S2_S3_S4 The thin prism distortion coefficients are not changed during the optimization. If CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set, the coefficient from the supplied distCoeffs matrix is used. Otherwise, it is set to 0.
- CALIB_TILTED_MODEL Coefficients tauX and tauY are enabled. To provide the backward compatibility, this extra flag should be explicitly specified to make the calibration function use the tilted sensor model and return 14 coefficients. If the flag is not set, the function computes and returns only 5 distortion coefficients.
CALIB_FIX_TAUX_TAUY The coefficients of the tilted sensor model are not changed during the optimization. If CALIB_USE_INTRINSIC_GUESS is set, the coefficient from the supplied distCoeffs matrix is used. Otherwise, it is set to 0.
The function estimates the intrinsic camera parameters and extrinsic parameters for each of the views. The algorithm is based on CITE: Zhang2000 and CITE: 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 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 REF: findChessboardCorners). Currently, initialization of intrinsic parameters (when 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:
Compute the initial intrinsic parameters (the option only available for planar calibration patterns) or read them from the input parameters. The distortion coefficients are all set to zeros initially unless some of CALIB_FIX_K? are specified.
Estimate the initial camera pose as if the intrinsic parameters have been already known. This is done using solvePnP .
Run the global Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm to minimize the reprojection error, that is, the total sum of squared distances between the observed feature points imagePoints and the projected (using the current estimates for camera parameters and the poses) object points objectPoints. See projectPoints for details.
@note If you use a non-square (i.e. non-N-by-N) grid and REF: findChessboardCorners for calibration, and REF: calibrateCamera returns bad values (zero distortion coefficients,
c_xandc_yvery far from the image center, and/or large differences betweenf_xandf_y(ratios of 10:1 or more)), then you are probably using patternSize=cvSize(rows,cols) instead of using patternSize=cvSize(cols,rows) in REF: findChessboardCorners.@sa calibrateCameraRO, findChessboardCorners, solvePnP, initCameraMatrix2D, stereoCalibrate, undistort

Parameters
objectPoints
In the new interface it is a vector of vectors of calibration pattern points in the calibration pattern coordinate space (e.g. std::vectorstd::vector<cv::Vec3f>). The outer vector contains as many elements as the number of 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. Although the points are 3D, they all lie in the calibration pattern’s XY coordinate plane (thus 0 in the Z-coordinate), if the used calibration pattern is a planar rig. 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 (e.g. std::vectorstd::vector<cv::Vec2f>). imagePoints.size() and objectPoints.size(), and imagePoints[i].size() and objectPoints[i].size() for each i, must be equal, respectively. In the old interface all the vectors of object points from different views are concatenated together.

If object-releasing method to be used, pass in the parameter in the range of [1, objectPoints[0].size()-2], otherwise a value out of this range will make standard calibration method selected. Usually the top-right corner point of the calibration board grid is recommended to be fixed when object-releasing method being utilized. According to \cite strobl2011iccv, two other points are also fixed. In this implementation, objectPoints[0].front and objectPoints[0].back.z are used.

The function estimates the transformation between two cameras making a stereo pair. If one computes the poses of an object relative to the first camera and to the second camera, (
R_1,T_1) and (R_2,T_2), respectively, for a stereo camera where the relative position and orientation between the two cameras are fixed, then those poses definitely relate to each other. This means, if the relative position and orientation (R,T) of the two cameras is known, it is possible to compute (R_2,T_2) when (R_1,T_1) is given. This is what the described function does. It computes (R,T) such that:R_2=R R_1T_2=R T_1 + T.Therefore, one can compute the coordinate representation of a 3D point for the second camera’s coordinate system when given the point’s coordinate representation in the first camera’s coordinate system:
\begin{bmatrix} X_2 \ Y_2 \ Z_2 \ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} R & T \ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_1 \ Y_1 \ Z_1 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}.Optionally, it computes the essential matrix E:
\newcommand{\vecthreethree}[9]{ \begin{bmatrix} #1 & #2 & #3\\ #4 & #5 & #6\\ #7 & #8 & #9 \end{bmatrix} } E= \vecthreethree{0}{-T_2}{T_1}{T_2}{0}{-T_0}{-T_1}{T_0}{0} Rwhere
T_iare components of the translation vectorT:T=[T_0, T_1, T_2]^T. And the function can also compute the fundamental matrix F:F = cameraMatrix2^{-T}\cdot E \cdot cameraMatrix1^{-1}Besides the stereo-related information, the function can also perform a full calibration of each of the 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 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 CALIB_SAME_FOCAL_LENGTH and 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.

Decompose a homography matrix to rotation(s), translation(s) and plane normal(s).
This function extracts relative camera motion between two views of a planar object and returns up to four mathematical solution tuples of rotation, translation, and plane normal. The decomposition of the homography matrix H is described in detail in CITE: Malis.
If the homography H, induced by the plane, gives the constraint
s_i \vecthree{x’_i}{y’_i}{1} \sim H \vecthree{x_i}{y_i}{1}on the source image pointsp_iand the destination image pointsp’_i, then the tuple of rotations[k] and translations[k] is a change of basis from the source camera’s coordinate system to the destination camera’s coordinate system. However, by decomposing H, one can only get the translation normalized by the (typically unknown) depth of the scene, i.e. its direction but with normalized length.If point correspondences are available, at least two solutions may further be invalidated, by applying positive depth constraint, i.e. all points must be in front of the camera.
Declaration
Parameters
H
The input homography matrix between two images.
K
The input intrinsic camera calibration matrix.
rotations
Array of rotation matrices.
translations

In the case of SOLVEPNP_P3P and SOLVEPNP_AP3P methods, it is required to use exactly 4 points (the first 3 points are used to estimate all the solutions of the P3P problem, the last one is used to retain the best solution that minimizes the reprojection error). - With SOLVEPNP_ITERATIVE method and

-
Finds an object pose from 3D-2D point correspondences. This function returns a list of all the possible solutions (a solution is a
couple), depending on the number of input points and the chosen method: - P3P methods (REF: SOLVEPNP_P3P, REF: SOLVEPNP_AP3P): 3 or 4 input points. Number of returned solutions can be between 0 and 4 with 3 input points.
- REF: SOLVEPNP_IPPE Input points must be >= 4 and object points must be coplanar. Returns 2 solutions.
- REF: SOLVEPNP_IPPE_SQUARE Special case suitable for marker pose estimation.
Number of input points must be 4 and 2 solutions are returned. Object points must be defined in the following order:
- point 0: [-squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 1: [ squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 2: [ squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 3: [-squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]
for all the other flags, number of input points must be >= 4 and object points can be in any configuration. Only 1 solution is returned.
SOLVEPNP_ITERATIVE Iterative method is based on a Levenberg-Marquardt optimization. In this case the function finds such a pose that minimizes reprojection error, that is the sum of squared distances between the observed projections imagePoints and the projected (using projectPoints ) objectPoints .
SOLVEPNP_P3P Method is based on the paper of X.S. Gao, X.-R. Hou, J. Tang, H.-F. Chang “Complete Solution Classification for the Perspective-Three-Point Problem” (CITE: gao2003complete). In this case the function requires exactly four object and image points.
SOLVEPNP_AP3P Method is based on the paper of T. Ke, S. Roumeliotis “An Efficient Algebraic Solution to the Perspective-Three-Point Problem” (CITE: Ke17). In this case the function requires exactly four object and image points.
SOLVEPNP_EPNP Method has been introduced by F.Moreno-Noguer, V.Lepetit and P.Fua in the paper “EPnP: Efficient Perspective-n-Point Camera Pose Estimation” (CITE: lepetit2009epnp).
SOLVEPNP_DLS Method is based on the paper of Joel A. Hesch and Stergios I. Roumeliotis. “A Direct Least-Squares (DLS) Method for PnP” (CITE: hesch2011direct).

f_xandf_yassuming that both have the same value. Then the cameraMatrix is updated with the estimated focal length.SOLVEPNP_IPPE Method is based on the paper of T. Collins and A. Bartoli. “Infinitesimal Plane-Based Pose Estimation” (CITE: Collins14). This method requires coplanar object points.
SOLVEPNP_IPPE_SQUARE Method is based on the paper of Toby Collins and Adrien Bartoli. “Infinitesimal Plane-Based Pose Estimation” (CITE: Collins14). This method is suitable for marker pose estimation. It requires 4 coplanar object points defined in the following order:
- point 0: [-squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]
- point 1: [ squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0]

(\text{RMSE} = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i}^{N} \left ( \hat{y_i} - y_i \right )^2}{N}}) between the input image points and the 3D object points projected with the estimated pose.
The function estimates the object pose given a set of object points, their corresponding image projections, as well as the camera matrix and the distortion coefficients, see the figure below (more precisely, the X-axis of the camera frame is pointing to the right, the Y-axis downward and the Z-axis forward).
Points expressed in the world frame
\bf{X}_ware projected into the image plane\left[ u, v \right]using the perspective projection model\Piand the camera intrinsic parameters matrix\bf{A}:\begin{align*} \begin{bmatrix} u \ v \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \bf{A} \hspace{0.1em} \Pi \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}\bf{T}_w \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \ \begin{bmatrix} u \ v \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \begin{bmatrix} f_x & 0 & c_x \ 0 & f_y & c_y \ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} r_{11} & r_{12} & r_{13} & t_x \ r_{21} & r_{22} & r_{23} & t_y \ r_{31} & r_{32} & r_{33} & t_z \ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \end{align*}The estimated pose is thus the rotation (
rvec
) and the translation (tvec
) vectors that allow transforming a 3D point expressed in the world frame into the camera frame:\begin{align*} \begin{bmatrix} X_c \ Y_c \ Z_c \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}\bf{T}_w \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \ \begin{bmatrix} X_c \ Y_c \ Z_c \ 1 \end{bmatrix} &= \begin{bmatrix} r_{11} & r_{12} & r_{13} & t_x \ r_{21} & r_{22} & r_{23} & t_y \ r_{31} & r_{32} & r_{33} & t_z \ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_{w} \ Y_{w} \ Z_{w} \ 1 \end{bmatrix} \end{align*}@note - An example of how to use solvePnP for planar augmented reality can be found at opencv_source_code/samples/python/plane_ar.py - If you are using Python: - Numpy array slices won’t work as input because solvePnP requires contiguous arrays (enforced by the assertion using cv::Mat::checkVector() around line 55 of modules/calib3d/src/solvepnp.cpp version 2.4.9) - The P3P algorithm requires image points to be in an array of shape (N,1,2) due to its calling of cv::undistortPoints (around line 75 of modules/calib3d/src/solvepnp.cpp version 2.4.9) which requires 2-channel information. - Thus, given some data D = np.array(…) where D.shape = (N,M), in order to use a subset of it as, e.g., imagePoints, one must effectively copy it into a new array: imagePoints = np.ascontiguousarray(D[:,:2]).reshape((N,1,2)) - The methods SOLVEPNP_DLS and SOLVEPNP_UPNP cannot be used as the current implementations are unstable and sometimes give completely wrong results. If you pass one of these two flags, SOLVEPNP_EPNP method will be used instead. - The minimum number of points is 4 in the general case. In the case of SOLVEPNP_P3P and SOLVEPNP_AP3P methods, it is required to use exactly 4 points (the first 3 points are used to estimate all the solutions of the P3P problem, the last one is used to retain the best solution that minimizes the reprojection error). - With SOLVEPNP_ITERATIVE method and
useExtrinsicGuess=true
, the minimum number of points is 3 (3 points are sufficient to compute a pose but there are up to 4 solutions). The initial solution should be close to the global solution to converge. - With SOLVEPNP_IPPE input points must be >= 4 and object points must be coplanar. - With SOLVEPNP_IPPE_SQUARE this is a special case suitable for marker pose estimation. Number of input points must be 4. Object points must be defined in the following order: - point 0: [-squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0] - point 1: [ squareLength / 2, squareLength / 2, 0] - point 2: [ squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0] - point 3: [-squareLength / 2, -squareLength / 2, 0]Declaration

Computes Hand-Eye calibration:
_{}^{g}\textrm{T}_cThe function performs the Hand-Eye calibration using various methods. One approach consists in estimating the rotation then the translation (separable solutions) and the following methods are implemented:
- R. Tsai, R. Lenz A New Technique for Fully Autonomous and Efficient 3D Robotics Hand/EyeCalibration \cite Tsai89
- F. Park, B. Martin Robot Sensor Calibration: Solving AX = XB on the Euclidean Group \cite Park94
- R. Horaud, F. Dornaika Hand-Eye Calibration \cite Horaud95
Another approach consists in estimating simultaneously the rotation and the translation (simultaneous solutions), with the following implemented method:
- N. Andreff, R. Horaud, B. Espiau On-line Hand-Eye Calibration \cite Andreff99
- K. Daniilidis Hand-Eye Calibration Using Dual Quaternions \cite Daniilidis98
The following picture describes the Hand-Eye calibration problem where the transformation between a camera (“eye”) mounted on a robot gripper (“hand”) has to be estimated.
The calibration procedure is the following:
- a static calibration pattern is used to estimate the transformation between the target frame and the camera frame
- the robot gripper is moved in order to acquire several poses
- for each pose, the homogeneous transformation between the gripper frame and the robot base frame is recorded using for
instance the robot kinematics
\begin{bmatrix} X_b\ Y_b\ Z_b\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} _{}^{b}\textrm{R}_g & _{}^{b}\textrm{t}_g \ 0_{1 \times 3} & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_g\ Y_g\ Z_g\ 1 \end{bmatrix}
- for each pose, the homogeneous transformation between the calibration target frame and the camera frame is recorded using
for instance a pose estimation method (PnP) from 2D-3D point correspondences
\begin{bmatrix} X_c\ Y_c\ Z_c\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} _{}^{c}\textrm{R}_t & _{}^{c}\textrm{t}_t \ 0_{1 \times 3} & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_t\ Y_t\ Z_t\ 1 \end{bmatrix}
The Hand-Eye calibration procedure returns the following homogeneous transformation
\begin{bmatrix} X_g\ Y_g\ Z_g\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} _{}^{g}\textrm{R}_c & _{}^{g}\textrm{t}_c \ 0_{1 \times 3} & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} X_c\ Y_c\ Z_c\ 1 \end{bmatrix}This problem is also known as solving the
\mathbf{A}\mathbf{X}=\mathbf{X}\mathbf{B}equation: `$$ \begin{align*} ^{b}{\textrm{T}_g}^{(1)} \hspace{0.2em} ^{g}\textrm{T}_c \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}{\textrm{T}_t}^{(1)} &= \hspace{0.1em} ^{b}{\textrm{T}_g}^{(2)} \hspace{0.2em} ^{g}\textrm{T}_c \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}{\textrm{T}_t}^{(2)} \(^{b}{\textrm{T}_g}^{(2)})^{-1} \hspace{0.2em} ^{b}{\textrm{T}_g}^{(1)} \hspace{0.2em} ^{g}\textrm{T}_c &= \hspace{0.1em} ^{g}\textrm{T}_c \hspace{0.2em} ^{c}{\textrm{T}_t}^{(2)} (^{c}{\textrm{T}_t}^{(1)})^{-1} \\ \textrm{A}_i \textrm{X} &= \textrm{X} \textrm{B}_i \\ \end{align*}

The function converts points homogeneous to Euclidean space using perspective projection. That is, each point (x1, x2, … x(n-1), xn) is converted to (x1/xn, x2/xn, …, x(n-1)/xn). When xn=0, the output point coordinates will be (0,0,0,…).
Declaration

-
Converts points from Euclidean to homogeneous space.
The function converts points from Euclidean to homogeneous space by appending 1’s to the tuple of point coordinates. That is, each point (x1, x2, …, xn) is converted to (x1, x2, …, xn, 1).
Declaration
Parameters

dst
Output vector of N+1-dimensional points.

Decompose an essential matrix to possible rotations and translation.
This function decomposes the essential matrix E using svd decomposition CITE: HartleyZ00. In general, four possible poses exist for the decomposition of E. They are
[R_1, t],[R_1, -t],[R_2, t],[R_2, -t].If E gives the epipolar constraint
[p_2; 1]^T A^{-T} E A^{-1} [p_1; 1] = 0between the image pointsp_1in the first image andp_2in second image, then any of the tuples[R_1, t],[R_1, -t],[R_2, t],[R_2, -t]is a change of basis from the first camera’s coordinate system to the second camera’s coordinate system. However, by decomposing E, one can only get the direction of the translation. For this reason, the translation t is returned with unit length.Declaration
Parameters
E
The input essential matrix.
R1
One possible rotation matrix.
R2
Another possible rotation matrix.
t

+filterHomographyDecompByVisibleRefpoints:
normals: beforePoints: afterPoints: possibleSolutions: pointsMask: Filters homography decompositions based on additional information.
This function is intended to filter the output of the decomposeHomographyMat based on additional information as described in CITE: Malis . The summary of the method: the decomposeHomographyMat function returns 2 unique solutions and their “opposites” for a total of 4 solutions. If we have access to the sets of points visible in the camera frame before and after the homography transformation is applied, we can determine which are the true potential solutions and which are the opposites by verifying which homographies are consistent with all visible reference points being in front of the camera. The inputs are left unchanged; the filtered solution set is returned as indices into the existing one.

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.

Computes the undistortion and rectification transformation map.
The function computes the joint undistortion and rectification transformation and represents the result in the form of maps for remap. The undistorted image looks like original, as if it is captured with a camera using the camera matrix =newCameraMatrix and zero distortion. In case of a monocular camera, newCameraMatrix is usually equal to cameraMatrix, or it can be computed by #getOptimalNewCameraMatrix for a better control over scaling. In case of a stereo camera, newCameraMatrix is normally set to P1 or P2 computed by #stereoRectify .
Also, this new camera is oriented differently in the coordinate space, according to R. That, for example, helps to align two heads of a stereo camera so that the epipolar lines on both images become horizontal and have the same y- coordinate (in case of a horizontally aligned stereo camera).
The function actually builds the maps for the inverse mapping algorithm that is used by remap. That is, for each pixel
(u, v)in the destination (corrected and rectified) image, the function computes the corresponding coordinates in the source image (that is, in the original image from camera). The following process is applied: `$$\newcommand{\vecthreethree}[9]{ \begin{bmatrix} #1 & #2 & #3\ #4 & #5 & #6\ #7 & #8 & #9 \end{bmatrix} } \begin{array}{l} x \leftarrow (u - {c’}_x)/{f’}_x \ y \leftarrow (v - {c’}_y)/{f’}_y \ {[X\,Y\,W]} ^T \leftarrow R^{-1}*[x \, y \, 1]^T \ x’ \leftarrow X/W \ y’ \leftarrow Y/W \ r^2 \leftarrow x’^2 + y’^2 \ x’‘ \leftarrow x’ \frac{1 + k_1 r^2 + k_2 r^4 + k_3 r^6}{1 + k_4 r^2 + k_5 r^4 + k_6 r^6}- 2p_1 x’ y’ + p_2(r^2 + 2 x’^2) + s_1 r^2 + s_2 r^4\ y’‘ \leftarrow y’ \frac{1 + k_1 r^2 + k_2 r^4 + k_3 r^6}{1 + k_4 r^2 + k_5 r^4 + k_6 r^6}

In case of a stereo camera, this function is called twice: once for each camera head, after stereoRectify, which in its turn is called after #stereoCalibrate. But if the stereo camera was not calibrated, it is still possible to compute the rectification transformations directly from the fundamental matrix using #stereoRectifyUncalibrated. For each camera, the function computes homography H as the rectification transformation in a pixel domain, not a rotation matrix R in 3D space. R can be computed from H as
\texttt{R} = \texttt{cameraMatrix} ^{-1} \cdot \texttt{H} \cdot \texttt{cameraMatrix}where cameraMatrix can be chosen arbitrarily. -

Projects 3D points to an image plane.
The function computes the 2D 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.

+stereoRectify:
distCoeffs1: cameraMatrix2: distCoeffs2: imageSize: R: T: R1: R2: P1: P2: Q: flags: alpha: newImageSize: validPixROI1: validPixROI2: 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:
\texttt{P1} = \begin{bmatrix} f & 0 & cx_1 & 0 \ 0 & f & cy & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\texttt{P2} = \begin{bmatrix} f & 0 & cx_2 & T_x*f \ 0 & f & cy & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} ,where
T_xis a horizontal shift between the cameras andcx_1=cx_2if CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.Vertical stereo: the first and the second camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly in the 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:
\texttt{P1} = \begin{bmatrix} f & 0 & cx & 0 \ 0 & f & cy_1 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\texttt{P2} = \begin{bmatrix} f & 0 & cx & 0 \ 0 & f & cy_2 & T_y*f \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix},where
T_yis a vertical shift between the cameras andcy_1=cy_2if CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.

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 from the coordinate system of the first camera to the second camera, see REF: stereoCalibrate.
T
Translation vector from the coordinate system of the first camera to the second camera, see REF: stereoCalibrate.
R1
Output 3x3 rectification transform (rotation matrix) for the first camera. This matrix brings points given in the unrectified first camera’s coordinate system to points in the rectified first camera’s coordinate system. In more technical terms, it performs a change of basis from the unrectified first camera’s coordinate system to the rectified first camera’s coordinate system.
R2
Output 3x3 rectification transform (rotation matrix) for the second camera. This matrix brings points given in the unrectified second camera’s coordinate system to points in the rectified second camera’s coordinate system. In more technical terms, it performs a change of basis from the unrectified second camera’s coordinate system to the rectified second camera’s coordinate system.
P1
Output 3x4 projection matrix in the new (rectified) coordinate systems for the first camera, i.e. it projects points given in the rectified first camera coordinate system into the rectified first camera’s image.
P2
Output 3x4 projection matrix in the new (rectified) coordinate systems for the second camera, i.e. it projects points given in the rectified first camera coordinate system into the rectified second camera’s image.
Q
Output
4 \times 4disparity-to-depth mapping matrix (see REF: reprojectImageTo3D).flags
Operation flags that may be zero or 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). 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 a 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).

distCoeffs1: cameraMatrix2: distCoeffs2: imageSize: R: T: R1: R2: P1: P2: Q: flags: alpha: newImageSize: validPixROI1: 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:
\texttt{P1} = \begin{bmatrix} f & 0 & cx_1 & 0 \ 0 & f & cy & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\texttt{P2} = \begin{bmatrix} f & 0 & cx_2 & T_x*f \ 0 & f & cy & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} ,where
T_xis a horizontal shift between the cameras andcx_1=cx_2if CALIB_ZERO_DISPARITY is set.Vertical stereo: the first and the second camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly in the 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:

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). Any intermediate value yields an intermediate result between those two extreme cases. initUndistortRectifyMap (see the stereo_calib.cpp sample in OpenCV samples directory).

-
Transforms an image to compensate for lens distortion.
The function transforms an image to compensate radial and tangential lens distortion.
The function is simply a combination of #initUndistortRectifyMap (with unity R ) and #remap (with bilinear interpolation). See the former function for details of the transformation being performed.
Those pixels in the destination image, for which there is no correspondent pixels in the source image, are filled with zeros (black color).
A particular subset of the source image that will be visible in the corrected image can be regulated by newCameraMatrix. You can use #getOptimalNewCameraMatrix to compute the appropriate newCameraMatrix depending on your requirements.
The camera matrix and the distortion parameters can be determined using #calibrateCamera. If the resolution of images is different from the resolution used at the calibration stage,
f_x, f_y, c_xandc_yneed to be scaled accordingly, while the distortion coefficients remain the same.Declaration

4 \times 4disparity-to-depth mapping matrix (see reprojectImageTo3D ).flags
Operation flags that may be zero or 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. 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. length. Balance is in range of [0, 1].
