Are the intrinsic parameters that are returned by a HALCON (v13) calibration the same than the ones returned by OpenCV?
Or is there a 1-1 correspondence between the two representations?
We placed a support request to MVTec and received the following answers (received on Thu NOV 21 2019; 09:27):
A conversion between OpenCV and HALCON calibration parameters is not possible.
Reason is that the HALCON polynomial model uses an equation system where the distorted image coordinates are given on the right. Thus the distortion coefficients describe this computation direction. On the contrary, the OpenCV implementation uses an equation system where the undistorted image coordinates are given on the right. Thus the distortion coefficients describe the inverted direction. Because of the high polynomial grade, a conversion is not possible.
To compare the equations, please refer to operator reference of calibrate_cameras and the OpenCV camera calibration tutorial.
The division model that can be inverted analytically does not exist in OpenCV.
We also got an hdev script for an approximated mapping from HALCON to OpenCV parameters (received Thu NOV 21 2019; 16:27):
