[Bf-committers] GSoC 2016: Lens distortion estimation and grid calibration

[Miroslav Krajíček]

Hi,

my name is Miroslav Krajicek, I am currently studying computer graphics at
Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic).

I am interested in motion capture and image processing. As bachelor thesis
I created motion capture tool for webcams WebCamCap
<https://github.com/kaajo/WebCamCap/> . For lens distortion correction i
used OpenCV. Currently i am working on autonomous car (part time job) where
calibration is really important for camera SLAM.

I compiled source code and found where lens settings are. I have a question
regarding to process of a calibration: Do you think users would like to
calibrate camera from sequence of photos (or recorded video) ?  Until now I
was used to "live" video calibration but not all cameras used by users have
that option.
