We're going from a typical camera calibration to a solid, validated result. This is your step-by-step guide to models, data collection, and validation best practices.
Fisheye camera calibration
Apr 29, 2024
We explain how to use fisheye lenses on your robot, focusing on EUCM projection.
Repeatability of intrinsic calibration
Dec 9, 2023
If you calibrate a camera twice, will you get the same answer? It depends on how you calibrate. We collected 20 datasets to get to the bottom of things.
Building and calibrating a custom stereo sensor
Apr 28, 2023
We go through the process of building, synchronizing, and calibrating a custom stereo pair using Skip Robotics calibration tooling. Starting with two Blackfly S USB3 cameras, we add wide angle lenses, hardware trigger sync, and a high quality calibration to produce an accurate stereo sensor.
You should just buy a calibration solution
Apr 14, 2023
Build vs buy can be a dilemma, but unless your customers are paying you for calibration, don't waste your time reinventing the wheel. Using an existing solution lets you focus on your actual product.
Camera Calibration: A Primer
Sep 10, 2021
Camera calibration has been a mostly solved problem for decades. Why is it still painful? In this article we go into the practical difficulties that make production calibration trickier than it looks. We'll start with a review of the math and then share some practical tips for making it work well.
