Description

sim_caltabsim_caltabSimCaltabSimCaltabSimCaltab is used to generate a simulated calibration image. The calibration plate description is read from the file CalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrCalPlateDescrcalPlateDescr and will be projected into the image plane using the given camera parameters, thus internal camera parameters CameraParamCameraParamCameraParamCameraParamcameraParam and external camera parameters CalPlatePoseCalPlatePoseCalPlatePoseCalPlatePosecalPlatePose (see also project_3d_pointproject_3d_pointProject3dPointProject3dPointProject3dPoint). Thereby the pose is expected to be in the form , where ccs denotes the camera coordinate system and wcs the world coordinate system (see Transformations / Poses and “Solution Guide III-C - 3D Vision”).

In the simulated image only the calibration plate is shown. The image background is set to the gray value GrayBackgroundGrayBackgroundGrayBackgroundGrayBackgroundgrayBackground, the calibration plate background is set to GrayPlateGrayPlateGrayPlateGrayPlategrayPlate, and the calibration marks are set to the gray value GrayMarksGrayMarksGrayMarksGrayMarksgrayMarks. The parameter ScaleFacScaleFacScaleFacScaleFacscaleFac influences the number of supporting points to approximate the elliptic contours of the calibration marks, see also disp_caltabdisp_caltabDispCaltabDispCaltabDispCaltab. Increasing the number of supporting points causes a more accurate determination of the mark boundary, but increases the computation time, too. For each pixel of the simulated image which touches a subpixel-boundary of this kind, the gray value is set linearly between GrayMarksGrayMarksGrayMarksGrayMarksgrayMarks and GrayPlateGrayPlateGrayPlateGrayPlategrayPlate dependent on the proportion Inside/Outside.

By applying the operator sim_caltabsim_caltabSimCaltabSimCaltabSimCaltab you can generate synthetic calibration images (with known camera parameters!) to test the quality of the calibration algorithm (see Calibration).
