Is that possible only calibrate one camera with initialize other camera pose?

Question

Is that possible only calibrate one camera with initialize other camera pose?

Closed this issue 3 months ago · 3 comments

Hi,

I have some fixed cameras with accurately calibrated extrinsic parameters. Now, I have a mobile camera that can only capture one frame of the calibration board at a time. Can I use the extrinsic parameters of these fixed cameras to optimize only the mobile camera?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in this project.
Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, this option is not currently available in MC-Calib. The closest functionality we offer is initializing the parameters for all cameras, followed by a joint refinement for all of them.

This sounds very helpful! How can I initialize these parameters?

Oh, my sincere apologies. After briefly reviewing the code, it seems that we may have implemented it only for intrinsic parameters.
Most of the required tools for developing this feature are available in the toolbox, but integrating this functionality neatly might take some time. We currently do not plan to include such a modification in MC-Calib in the short term. However, we would be happy to assist you if you would like to integrate this option yourself.
