Camera files with standard distortions

December 17, 2013 .cam Digital camera camera file calibration calibration certificate medium-format cameras distortions

Digi3D.NET allows to load camera files generated with many programs (such as Calibra, RapidCal, EspaKernel, ...) natively. Thanks to these camera formats, we can work with medium-format and non-metric cameras. If you do not have a calibration file in one of the formats supported by Digi3D.NET, you can always create a camera file yourself. In previous versions we could only create camera files indicating the focal, the main point and a table of distortions. Digi3D.NET will allow us to create a camera file with a polynomial of distortions (indicating the parameters K0, K1, K2 and K3 in addition to the offset parameters P1 and P2 and the parameters of affinity (B1) and desortogonality (B2). The following example is a camera file in this format:

[Camara]
Focal=59.761
TamanoPixel=0.0068
PuntoPrincipal=-0.3047 0.032
AnchoSensor=49.0416
AltoSensor=36.7744
Escala=1.0
TipoValorDistorsion=1
k0=8.97882e-3
k1=-2.07064e-5
k2=4.45263e-9
k3=0.0
p1=0.0
p2=0.0
b1=0.0
b2=0.0
