=================================News===========================================

- The test data collected using Intel Creative Depth Sensor can be downloaded from
here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25197257/data.zip

- The corner detector is switched to the automatic MATLAB corner detector - 
now you only need to select the regions where the checkerboard is and not the 
exact corners (-> faster)

=========================3d-party code used======================================

The following 3d-party code is used and included with the code:

1) the ToF Calibration toolbox is based on Matlab Kinect calibration toolbox (http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~dherrera/kinect/)
2) the code uses Gaussian Kernel regression by Youngmok Yun (http://youngmok.com/gaussian-kernel-regression-for-multidimensional-feature-with-matlab-code/)
3) the code uses fast distance matrix computation by Mo Chen (http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24599-pairwise-distance-matrix)

=========================Usage======================================

Please note, that right now the Toolbox supports only one color camera. 
This will be corrected in future releases.

Starting new calibration, firstly call:
 
global_vars(); %make all global variables visible in the workspace
dataset_path = '%ENTER YOUR PATH HERE%'; %set the path to the folder, containing RGB, conf and depth images
iterative_calib %start calibration

Then follow the instructions printed in MATLAB;
At some point, you will have to select checkerboard corners, but the corners might not be found correctly.
If it happends, break the process (Ctrl+C) and start again; the process will be started from the same point

The final calibration will be available in workspace as 

calib %object containing calibration parameters
errors %errors at each iteration

* To show color-depth overlay:
function color_depth_overlay(calib,rgbfile,depthfile) %show depth-to-rgb overlay
function color_depth_overlayi(calib,i) %show depth-to-rgb overlay of the i-th calibration image

* To transform depth to world coordinates

pn = get_dpoint_direction_Intel(p(1,:),p(2,:),calib.cK,calib.ckc); %pixel coordinates to normalized coordinates
p3D = [pn.*repmat(d,2,1); d]; %coordinates in 3D (d denotes corresponding depth value)

* To transform depth to rgb camera system

p3Drgb = calib.cR * p3D + repmat(calib.ct,1, size(p3D,2)); 

* To reproject depth points to RGB camera plane 

function prgb = depth2rgb(p,d,calib)
    
* Save all global variables

function save_globals(fn)

* Load all global variables

load(filename) %standard MATLAB function

* To run the calibration from the start, set the corresponding fields in calib0 to []
