It includes tools for calibrating both the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the individual cameras within the rigid camera rig. Visit the MCPTAM website (https://github.com/aharmat/mcptam). For more information, refer to the MCPTAM Wiki (https://github.com/aharmat/mcptam/wiki). A Getting-Started Guide is available on the Wiki, or a snapshot can be found in the file Getting-Started.pdf.
