Hello, I'm new in CV and trying to calculate 3D-Coordinates of a point with a stereo-setup. I don't get useful results from my code and the posts/questions of other users also didn't helped me. I did the following things:

Step 1: Calibrate both cameras individually with a chessboard to get the intrinsic (camera matrix and distortion coefficients) parameters. I used the cv::calibrateCamera() function which returned an reprojection error smaller than 0.2 for both cameras.

Step2: Stereo Calibrate of the Setup with a chessboard to get the rotation and translation matrix. I checked the result. The Error was very small and the T-Vector values are correlated to the physical setup (about 12.5 cm Basline).

Step 3: Getting the projection matrices for both cameras P1 and P2 using the cv::stereoRectify() function.

Now i want to triangulate.

  1. I took a capture with both cameras and remapped the captures using the function cv::initUndistortRectifyMap() and cv::remap().

  2. I detected the centre of the ball. You can find the images and my Calibration results under this link: Dropbox Link

In the left picture it was on pixel: x=343/y=272 and on the right picture it was on x=296/y=272.With these inputs i was trying the get 3D-coordinates of the point with the following code:

int co1[] = {343,272};
Mat point1(2, 1, CV_32FC1, co1);
int co2[] = {296,272};
Mat point2(2, 1, CV_32FC1, co2)
Mat points4D;
triangulatePoints(P1,P2,point1,point2,points4D);

for this input i got the following output from triangulatepoints: [5.21432042e-001, 4.01907146e-001, -7.52714634e-001, -1.1737522e-018]

The result also doesn't change if I change the pixel-coordinates manually. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong? Do i have a logical error about how triangulatePoints works?The actual position of the point is about [0;0;125]cm if you take the left camera as origin.

Ty for your help

I think I gave you enough karma to post links. Could you also include your P1 and P2?

Ty very much. I have edited my Question. Here are m P1 and P2 matrices. The other matrices are included in the link.

Hello, i have solved it. The points had wrong values, should have checked them before asking. Here is how it works for me now:

vector<Point2f> point1;
point1.push_back(cv::Point(343, 272));
Mat point1Mat = Mat(point1);

vector<Point2f> point2;
point2.push_back(cv::Point(296, 272));
Mat point2Mat = Mat(point2);
