Calibration
In the section that discusses the mathematical basis, we found several unknown camera parameters. These parameters need to be figured out so we can process each image and stabilize it. As with any calibration process, we need to use a predefined scene. Using this scene and a relative handshake, we will try to estimate the unknown parameters.
The unknown parameters are:
- Focal length of the lens
- Delay between gyroscope and frame timestamps
- Bias in the gyroscope
- Duration of the rolling shutter
It is often possible to detect the focal length of a phone camera (in terms of millimeters) using the platform API (getFocalLength() for Android). However, we're interested in the camera space focal length. This number is a product of the physical focal ...
