# kinect-stereo-calib(1)

Calibration utility for the Microsoft Kinect sensor

## NAME

kinect-stereo-calib - Calibration utility for the Microsoft Kinect sensor

## SYNOPSIS

kinect-stereo-calib

## DESCRIPTION

**kinect-stereo-calib** is designed to allow an easy calibration of the  camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters required for an accurate reconstruction of colored 3D point clouds with this sensor. Calibration will require a printed checkerboard as those used in common camera calibration.

It can be also used to calibrate any arbitrary stereo camera, provided stereo images of a checkerboard are already saved to disk.
