Problem 1

Download the images from the Isidore attachment 2013_0417.zip. The images are described in photo filelist Use the first few images to calibrate the camera. Compare the focal length and camera center parameters to calibrations of the same camera from previous assignments. Use the extrinsic parameters for the first image to determine the height of the camera above the floor and the camera angles (relative to the back wall and floor).

Calibration Results

Calibration results (with uncertainties):

Focal Length:          fc = [ 2604.37528   2514.93367 ] ± [ 85.95402   89.08338 ]
Principal point:       cc = [ 1056.53227   1113.06817 ] ± [ 89.94832   121.33121 ]
Skew:             alpha_c = [ 0.00000 ] ± [ 0.00000  ]   => angle of pixel axes = 90.00000 ± 0.00000 degrees
Distortion:            kc = [ -0.44746   1.30320   -0.03704   0.00216  0.00000 ] ± [ 0.15745   0.97763   0.01303   0.00714  0.00000 ]
Pixel error:          err = [ 1.20452   1.18617 ]

Note: The numerical errors are approximately three times the standard deviations (for reference).
