👑 CAMERA-CALIB 👑 (section 1 of the MRPT manual, bestie)

okay so real talk, this is the manpage for camera-calib, and it lives in the Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit (MRPT) manual family. if you've ever stared at a camera going "girl why is everything fisheye'd", this is the page for you. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

camera-calib — a GUI for calibrating a monocular camera using a checker-board 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

camera-calib

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch her. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so camera-calib-gui is a graphical application (yes, actual windows, actual clicking, no terminal suffering) and here's the whole plot: you feed her a sequence of images where a checkerboard — your calibration pattern, the icon herself — shows up. then she goes and computes the intrinsic and distortion parameters of your camera for you. 💖

and how does she do it? with the OpenCV implementation of Zhang's algorithm. no cap, that's the real math under the hood. 🔥

and where do the images come from? literally wherever, bestie — you can grab the sequence directly from a webcam, a firewire camera, or any other video source. live capture, no middleman. 📸
