So not much of an update, but @touste did point out to me that in camera calibration there are two very different tasks in hand. It might be helpful to consider these as two separate goals, making the road to a camera calibration package in Julia clearer:
- detecting the checkerboards corners.
- optimizing the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera.
The first require image analysis while the latter doesn’t.
While we can’t have camera calibration without both of these two parts, getting one will facilitate the creation of the other.
Does anyone have any knowledge about how to code the corner detection algorithm suggested here by Duda and Frese? Or perhaps there is an alternative you might know of?
