-
OpenCV camera calibration
OpenCV is a library of programming functions for real time computer vision. Check2D provides a user friendly interface to these functions.
- EMGU
CV wrapper library
EMGU CV is a cross platform .Net wrapper to the OpenCV image processing library.
- Camera Calibration Toolbox for Matlab
This toolbox requires Matlab and is a fantastic visual tool for exploring the planar camera calibration technique. It allows the user to perform both intrinsic and extrinsic calibrations, and the website gives a thorough description of the calibration parameters. Check2D does not use any of this toolbox, but CSER have used it extensively in the past.
- Zedgraph
Check2D uses Zedgraph. ZedGraph is a class library, user control, and web control for .net, written in C#, for drawing 2D Line, Bar, and Pie Charts. It features full, detailed customization capabilities, but most options have defaults for ease of use.
