Revision history [back]

I'm trying to calibrate my PICamera with the camera_calibration.cpp sample. I have taken 6 images from the sample chessboard. cmake and make work, but after running camera_calibration got the following error:

./camera_calibration default.xml
This is a camera calibration sample.
Usage: calibration configurationFile
Near the sample file you'll find the configuration file, which has detailed help of how to edit it.  It may be any OpenCV supported file format XML/YAML.
OpenCV Error: Unknown error code -49 (Input file is empty) in cvOpenFileStorage, file /tmp/binarydeb/ros-kinetic-opencv3-3.2.0/modules/core/src/persistence.cpp, line 4422
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
  what():  /tmp/binarydeb/ros-kinetic-opencv3-3.2.0/modules/core/src/persistence.cpp:4422: error: (-49) Input file is empty in function cvOpenFileStorage

Aborted (core dumped)

Google doesn't want to give me an answer this time, hope someone else does. I used this http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutorials/calib3d/camera_calibration/camera_calibration.html guide.

I have all the files, images,... in 1 folder. default.xml
