Camera callibration does not complete for my set of images.
I am trying to calibrate my camera using the sample code found on samples/cpp/tutorial_code/calib3d/camera_calibration/ ( the official documentation). It runs when I enter it for the image given by them, but when I run it for my images it shows no output. I have attached the images and also the data entered. Images is )
For this particular image , The program runs when width and height is 4 and 4 but it distorts this image even more. But clearly, it should work for 7X7. The code crashes for 7X7.
Is there anything I am missing out?
Can you please help me in solving this problem.
The data entered in the VID file is as follows

btw, please use rectangular grids, not a square one, whic has a problem being symmetric at 90° rotation
