GUI for calibrating a monocular camera using a checker-board

## NAME

camera-calib - GUI for calibrating a monocular camera using a checker-board

## SYNOPSIS

camera-calib

## DESCRIPTION

**camera-calib-gui** is a graphical application which allows the user to select a sequence of images where a checkerboad (calibration pattern) appears, then it computes the intrinsic and distortion parameters of the camera, using the OpenCV implementation of Zhang's algorithm.

The sequence of images can be grabbed directly from a webcam, firewire camera or any  other video source.
