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 image description)

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

  <!-- Number of inner corners per a item row and column. (square, circle) -->
  <BoardSize_Width>7</BoardSize_Width>

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

You misspelled BoardSize_Height in the closing tag. The error message should have been a pretty big hint.

@Tetragramm I did that. Now the problem is the code keeps running and after a few minutes it terminates or it shows the following erro rerror: (-215) src.size == dst.size && src.channels() == dst.channels() in function cvConvertScale I gave width 7 and breadth 7. Please help me

@Tetragramm The image works when I enter 4X4 and not 7X7. But when I crop the image a little more, It fails.

You're cropping the image? You should never alter the image when doing camera calibration. Especially cropping. That just entirely defeats the point.
