53 The camera model used is based on a Cartesian coordinate system (CaMera Coordinate System, CMCS). The origin is coincident with that of an equivalent pinhole camera. The x-axis of the right-handed coordinate system is aligned from left to right in the images, whereas the y-axis is aligned from top to bottom. Thus, the z-axis corresponds to the direction of camera s view. Camera model

55 The internal camera calibration describes the ideal pinhole camera represented by the focal length and the equivalent center of the pinhole projected orthogonally onto the chip surface (= principle point). The x and y axes use separate focal lengths fx and fy which are normalized by the respective pixel width dx and dy, so that, for example, fx [pixel] = fx [m] /dx [m]. The center of the image in relation to the CMCS is defined by the parameters Cx and Cy, given in pixel units. For lenses with negligible distortion, usually Cx ~ Nx/2 and Cy ~ Ny/2, whereas Nx and Ny are the number of pixel horizontal and vertical direction. Internal camera calibration

56 Internal camera calibration

57 The lens distortion is modeled by at least two radial and two tangential coefficients: k1, k2, k3, k4 and p1, p2 respectively. In case the radial coefficients of higher order equal 0, the camera model is identical to the one described in OpenCV ( Internal camera calibration
