When developing a visual perception algorithm for a monocular camera
sensor, an accurate camera configuration is essential. You can use a
monoCamera
object to configure such a sensor by
defining its intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. To obtain intrinsic
parameters, use the Camera Calibrator app. To obtain
extrinsic parameters, use the
estimateMonoCameraParameters
function. You can
use the configured monoCamera
object to transform
locations in image coordinates to locations in vehicle coordinates.
These transformations enable you to estimate distances to locations
ahead of the ego vehicle. You can also create bird's-eye view images
using the monoCamera
object, which you can use to
verify your camera configuration or as part of a lane detection
algorithm.
