Stereo calibration baseline mm

Hi, I calibrated my stereo webcam with a chessboard and:

stereoCalibrate(object_points, imagePoints1, imagePoints2, CM1, D1, CM2, D2, img1.size(), R, T, E, F, cvTermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_ITER+CV_TERMCRIT_EPS, 100, 1e-5), CV_CALIB_SAME_FOCAL_LENGTH | CV_CALIB_ZERO_TANGENT_DIST);

I need to know the baseline of the stereo camera in meters, so I look inside the T matrix. The first element of the T matrix is -1.6952669833501108e+00, the problem is that when I measure physically the distance between sensors with a ruler is approximately 4 cm, that is 0.04 m, what is the metrics of the elements in the T matrix? Therefore, I don't know the physical size of the pixels, because I don't know the sensor used.

Stereo calibration baseline mmin meters

Hi, I calibrated my stereo webcam with a chessboard and:

stereoCalibrate(object_points, imagePoints1, imagePoints2, CM1, D1, CM2, D2, img1.size(), R, T, E, F, cvTermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_ITER+CV_TERMCRIT_EPS, 100, 1e-5), CV_CALIB_SAME_FOCAL_LENGTH | CV_CALIB_ZERO_TANGENT_DIST);

I need to know the baseline of the stereo camera in meters, so I look inside the T matrix. The first element of the T matrix is -1.6952669833501108e+00, the problem is that when I measure physically the distance between sensors with a ruler is approximately 4 cm, that is 0.04 m, what is the metrics of the elements in the T matrix? Therefore, I don't know the physical size of the pixels, because I don't know the sensor used.

Stereo calibration baseline in meters

Hi, I calibrated my stereo webcam with a chessboard and:

stereoCalibrate(object_points, imagePoints1, imagePoints2, CM1, D1, CM2, D2, img1.size(), R, T, E, F, cvTermCriteria(CV_TERMCRIT_ITER+CV_TERMCRIT_EPS, 100, 1e-5), CV_CALIB_SAME_FOCAL_LENGTH | CV_CALIB_ZERO_TANGENT_DIST);

I need to know the baseline of the stereo camera in meters, so I look inside the T matrix. The first element of the T matrix is -1.6952669833501108e+00, the problem is that when I measure physically the distance between sensors with a ruler is approximately 4 cm, that is 0.04 m, what is the metrics of the elements in the T matrix? Therefore, I don't know the physical size of the pixels, because I don't know the sensor used.

I tried to calibrate another stereo rig with baseline of about 8.5 cm:

image description

in this case the baseline computed is -3.5152250398995970e+00:
