CalibrateWorldCoordinates


Calculates the world plane for the given sets of corresponding 2D and 3D points.

Name Type Description
inImagePoints Point2DArray
inWorldPoints Point3DArray
outResolution Real
outWorldPlane Position3D Calibrated world plane
outError Real Average distance between provided points and points found on calibration plane
outCorrectedImagePoints Point2DArray Points projected to the found plane
outCorrectedWorldPoints Point3DArray World points found using output plane

Applications

Use this filter to prepare data necessary for translating image coordinates to real-world units, e.g. for robot guidance applications.

Hints

  • Select at least four points on an image for which you know the real-world coordinates. Put these values into inImagePoints and inWorldPoints inputs.
  • Use the values of outResolution and outWorldPlane outputs for transforming coordinates from image to real-world units. Use these with filters such as PointToWorldCoordinates.
  • Please note, that this filter should not usually be executed in each iteration. It is even advisable to store its results in global parameters and disable the filter for the production system.

Examples

Description of usage of this filter can be found in examples and tutorial: Calibration of World Coordinates.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors here: Error Handling

Error type Description
DomainError At least 4 points are required in CalibrateWorldCoordinates
DomainError Number of points in inImagePoints and inWorldPoints must be equal in CalibrateWorldCoordinates
