Calibrating Thermal Cameras #665

Open mukundbala opened 5 months ago

mukundbala commented 5 months ago

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting a thermal camera and mounting it together with my RGB Camera. I would like to calibrate both of these cameras. I was wondering if you are aware of any simple techniques to calibrate the thermal camera? I have read some approaches that require the use of a heat lamp, but do let me know if your team has encountered this use case and have a reasonable solution for this. Thank you!

Hi, you will likely need to work on the extraction frontend to extract the target pattern. If you are able to do this, then the optimization and calibration code will work as expect since it only needs to know the 2d positions of each point on the calibration target in each frame.
