Variable extrinsic solution via stabilization points calling wrong UVds? #35
Let's take a simple 2 frame case where we want to find an extrinsic solution for a new frame by using a known (GCP-based) extrinsic solution from the previous (old) frame. According to the line above, the extrinsic solution for the new frame is found using the extrinsic solution from the old frame as an initial guess (👍), known flags (👍), lens calibration info (👍), the UVds of the stabilization points in the previous image (?), and the computed XYZs of the stabilization points (👍).
Shouldn't the extrinsic solution for the new frame be computed using the UVds of the stabilization points in the new frame, rather than in the old frame (i.e. using UVdn rather than UVdo)? As written, doesn't the line effectively compute a new solution for the old frame using the SCPs rather than GCPs? Many apologies if I am missing something fundamental here. Any guidance appreciated!
Hi Brittany,
I've been going through this (wonderful) toolbox and stumbled on what I think to be an error in the variableExtriniscSolution code. The line in question is given below: https://github.com/Coastal-Imaging-Research-Network/CIRN-Quantitative-Coastal-Imaging-Toolbox/blob/ef09056349bbae56a3d872e7b26e563a1f6ae829/F_variableExtrinsicSolutions.m#L289
