MonocularCalibration

While the calibration is running, this node indicates the approximate state of completion of the monocular calibration, i.e. the calibration of each camera’s intrinsic parameters. When calibrating two stereo cameras, this step is skipped because the intrinsic parameters are already known for both cameras. In this case, the node will instantly indicate that the monocular calibration has finished.

Number

A floating point number between 0 and 1 indicating the approximate completion of the step. The value 1 indicates that the step is complete.

Note

Because of the nature of the numerical optimization used in the calibration process, it is not possible to determine the progress precisely. The computed approximate progress percentage is based on the ratio of current optimization step size versus the desired model accuracy. The percentage might therefore drop to lower values multiple times during the computation. This does not indicate a problem or failure in the calibration.
