What does intrinsic matrix do?

The intrinsic matrix transforms 3D camera cooordinates to 2D homogeneous image coordinates. This perspective projection is modeled by the ideal pinhole camera, illustrated below. Each intrinsic parameter describes a geometric property of the camera.

What is an extrinsic matrix?

The extrinsic matrix is a transformation matrix from the world coordinate system to the camera coordinate system, while the intrinsic matrix is a transformation matrix that converts points from the camera coordinate system to the pixel coordinate system.

What is intrinsic calibration?

The calibration algorithm calculates the camera matrix using the extrinsic and intrinsic parameters. The extrinsic parameters represent the location of the camera in the 3-D scene. The intrinsic parameters represent the optical center and focal length of the camera.

What is calibration matrix?

Calibration is the process of estimating the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera. It can be thought of as a two stage process: estimating the matrix C, and. estimating the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters from C.
