what kind of reason will lead to this kind of stereorectify result

After calibrate my webcams successfully, I want to stereo rectify views from the two webcams captured at the same time.But the result seems not to be very successful. This is the views before stereo rectify:

And this is undistorted result of the left view(without stereo rectify)

And then ,this is my stereo rectify result:

And this is part of my code:

//estimate position and orientation
cout << "estimate position and orientation of the second camera" << endl
    << "relative to the first camera..." << endl;
stereoCalibrate(ObjectPoints, imagePointsFirst, imagePointsSec, intrMatFirst, distCoeffsFirst,
    intrMatSec, distCoffesSec, imageSize, R, T, E, F,  CV_CALIB_FIX_INTRINSIC ,
    TermCriteria(TermCriteria::COUNT + TermCriteria::EPS, 30, 1e-6));

//stereo rectify
cout << "stereo rectify..." << endl;
stereoRectify(intrMatFirst, distCoeffsFirst, intrMatSec, distCoffesSec, imageSize, R, T, RFirst,
    RSec, PFirst, PSec, Q, 0, 1, imageSize, &validRoi[0], &validRoi[1]);

//cature pictures for 3d-reconstruction
cout << "catch the picture for 3d-reconstruction..." << endl;
VideoCapture captureFirst(cameraIdFirst);
VideoCapture captureSec(cameraIdSec);

if ((!captureFirst.isOpened()) || (!captureSec.isOpened()))
{
    cout << "can't open the camera..." << endl;
    return -1;
}

Mat canvas(imageSize.height, imageSize.width * 2, CV_8UC3);
Mat canLeft = canvas(Rect(0, 0, imageSize.width, imageSize.height));
Mat canRight = canvas(Rect(imageSize.width, 0, imageSize.width, imageSize.height));
Mat viewFirst, viewSec;

cout << "push 'c' to catch pictures for 3d-reconstruction" << endl;
namedWindow("canvas", 1);
while (1)
{
    int key = 0;
    captureFirst >> viewFirst;
    captureSec >> viewSec;
    viewFirst.copyTo(canLeft);
    viewSec.copyTo(canRight);
    imshow("canvas", canvas);

    key = 0xff & waitKey(50);

    if (key=='c')
    {
        cout << "catch pictures done..." << endl;
        break;
    }
}

//rectify the catched pictures
Mat rmapFirst[2], rmapSec[2], rviewFirst, rviewSec;
initUndistortRectifyMap(intrMatFirst, distCoeffsFirst, RFirst, PFirst,
    imageSize, CV_16SC2, rmapFirst[0], rmapFirst[1]);
initUndistortRectifyMap(intrMatSec, distCoffesSec, RSec, PSec,
    imageSize, CV_16SC2, rmapSec[0], rmapSec[1]);
remap(viewFirst, rviewFirst, rmapFirst[0], rmapFirst[1], INTER_LINEAR);
remap(viewSec, rviewSec, rmapSec[0], rmapSec[1], INTER_LINEAR);

so what's reason???

stereoCalibrate returns a reprojection error. please try to make this as small as possible.

so do you mean that it comes from my pool calibration?

Some things to definately check

  1. Make sure the dimensions of your calibration pattern are uneven. Now you have an even amount of cols, which can screw up the calibration setup.
  2. Make sure you have enough calibration images, using 2 images will never yield a good camera calibration.
  3. Be sure to calibrate every single region of your camera range, if not, you will have large deformations towards the non calibrated areas.

Good luck!

At the beginning , I wanna say thx. you are right. The calibration result is not very accurate, and I know that. But I just want to figure out whether the only calibration error will lead to the very ridiculous stereo recitfy result.

Well in my experience, if the calibration is not accurate, you can get the most weird rectify results ever. We once forgot to calibrate a third of the image, resulting in a completely wrongly warped image. So yes, focus on a good calibration first.
