Problem with calibrating the camera!!

[LArayane]

Hi, I need the projection matrix K to convert pixels to meters. I have calibrated the camera and actually I got the same values as in the default file but even so I am still getting the same error

[ERROR] [1567353696.489721846]: [Decoder] 18:01:36:489 | Decode:302 - Frame size changed to 856 x 480

and even if I change the depth and height and set them to a different values than 856 x 480 I get the same error with same values!!! How can I solve this please I think the matrix K is critical in my work. Thanks

This is what I get after calibration:

Hi @LArayane! To calibrate the camera, you can use the OpenCV features, as is usually done with RGB cameras. Here, you find a useful guide.

[LArayane]

Thanks @gsilano for the answer! Actually I used this link to do calibration and I replaced the .yaml files in /bebop_driver/data/bebop1_camera_calib.yaml and /bebop_driver/data/bebop2_camera_calib.yaml although I wonder why there is two yaml files!!! and even by doing that I still get the error!! and even if I change the values in the .yaml files the error stays the same with the same values!! So I don't think the calibration parameters are taken from the .yaml files!!

Any suggestion please or clarification!! thanks

[gsilano]

I do not know how the suggested application in the link works, therefore, based on my experience, if I had to calibrate the Bebop 2 camera I would prefer to use the well known OpenCV function. As you can read, the code can also be used offline. You can record a video (it is mandatory to have a chessboard) and then process it using the code provided in the link I gave you.

You should investigate doing reverse engineering on the bebop_autonomy ROS package.

For the package I used, in here they said that it uses OpenCV camera calibration, described here. but no worries I can do both and I will let you know about the result if something changes. Thanks
