GML C++ Camera Calibration Toolbox
A new version of “GML C++ Camera Calibration Toolbox” has been released. Now the toolbox supports multiple calibration patterns within one project. During calibration a relative orientation between pattern coordinate systems is recovered. The usage of multiple patterns makes the calibration procedure more stable. This improves calibration accuracy. Also, less images for calibration is needed.. Read more
