2017-07-09 17:17:12 -0600 commented answer calibrate stereo system without calling cv::stereoCalibrate

Thank you very much for the answer. As I have understand the final C_T_P matrix contains the rotation matrix and translation vector. Is it correct? because I applied your answer but did not get correct results and I want to make sure that I understand correctly. (Most probably my implementation has some bugs but I want to make sure that I understand correctly first).

2017-07-08 19:30:13 -0600 asked a question calibrate stereo system without calling cv::stereoCalibrate

I saw a program to calibrate a stereo system (Camera-projector pair). The output of the program is :

  1. camera intrinsic matrix
  2. camera distortion coefficients
  3. camera extrinsic vectors (Obtained by rvecs and tvecs of cv::calibrateCamera)
  4. projector intrinsic matrix
  5. projector distortion coefficients
  6. projector extrinsic vectors (Obtained by rvecs and tvecs of cv::calibrateCamera)

I digged into the code and there was no calling for cv::stereoCalibrate. However, the program uses those 6 outputs to scan 3D objects successfully (the source of the scanning is closed, I have just the calibration part).

How is this possible? How can I achieve rotation matrix and translation vector in order to get the essential matrix from rvecs and tvecs ? What I missing here?

2017-07-02 16:27:15 -0600 asked a question invalid option, /FIC

I am trying to build OpenCV 3.2 using Visual studio 2017 comminuty edition. I am building without CUDA and all other options are kept as default.

I am getting this error while bulding:

I have two GPUs : Intel HD and nVidia Quadro. Using GPU Caps Viewer, I can detect my both GPUs in the OpenCL tab. However, by executing this code I am only getting the Intel one:

if (!cv::ocl::haveOpenCL()) {
    std::cout << "OpenCL is not available..." << std::endl;
}
cv::ocl::Context context;
if (!context.create(cv::ocl::Device::TYPE_ALL)) {
    std::cout << "Failed creating the context..." << std::endl;
}
std::cout << context.ndevices() << " GPU devices are detected." << std::endl; 
for (int i = 0; i < context.ndevices(); i++) {
    cv::ocl::Device device = context.device(i);
    std::cout << "name:              " << device.name() << std::endl;

2016-12-10 12:11:33 -0600 commented question access violation in copyTo

Thanks for reply.. I tired sth similar..I create a matheader and allocate the memory then tried to use copyto.. till now no crash but I can no be positive since sometimes it took 1 hour till crashing.. anyway.. there is no much thing to show.. a simple clone method is causing the problem.. it is the first statement after reading from ipcamera and it work for long time before crashing... :/

2016-12-10 10:57:12 -0600 asked a question access violation in copyTo

I am reading an image from IPCamera (using VLC API). I store this image in cv::Mat called ipCameraImage. Then I am doing deep-copy for this Mat into another Mat using:

auto frame=ipCameraImage.clone();

Everything seems fine. However, after around 1 hour of successful streaming, I got error access violation in the cloning process exactly inside copyTo function.. at the line:

memcpy( dptr, sptr, len );

It says that dptr point to NULL !

I am sure that ipCameraImageis not empty and it is contains valid image (I debug it and show it using ImageWatch tool with VS.NET).

It seems like a bug for me.. is it? Any suggestion?
