How to calculate Calibration Errors for a single Camera?

asked 2016-06-09 03:34:03 -0600

The function

 double calibrateCamera(InputArrayOfArrays objectPoints, InputArrayOfArrays imagePoints, Size imageSize, InputOutputArray cameraMatrix, InputOutputArray distCoeffs, OutputArrayOfArrays rvecs, OutputArrayOfArrays tvecs, int flags=0, TermCriteria criteria=TermCriteria( TermCriteria::COUNT+TermCriteria::EPS, 30, DBL_EPSILON) )

gives all Camera parameters, intrinsic and extrinsic but what is the procedure to obtain Calibration Errors, i.e,. for both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.

This function itself returns the RMS Error of the Calibration. Please check the API documentation.

Sample usage located in \sources\samples\cpp\calibration.cpp

double rms = calibrateCamera(objectPoints, imagePoints, imageSize, cameraMatrix,
                    distCoeffs, rvecs, tvecs, flags|CALIB_FIX_K4|CALIB_FIX_K5);
                    ///*|CALIB_FIX_K3*/|CALIB_FIX_K4|CALIB_FIX_K5);
    printf("RMS error reported by calibrateCamera: %g\n", rms);
