Getting complex numbers when calculating intrinsic camera parameters

I'm trying to implement Zhang's algorithm for camera calibration in MATlab. The steps to do that should be pretty straight forward and easy to implement, especially using MATLab. However, I've been stuck at a point where I'm getting complex numbers…

Rolling window for co-variance matrix

I got a 4-years time series of asset returns and I'm trying to perform a rolling-window in order to estimate the variance-covariance matrix with a calibration period of 6 months. in general, consider as dataset a matrix which includes the returns of…

Scikit correct way to calibrate classifiers with CalibratedClassifierCV

Scikit has CalibratedClassifierCV, which allows us to calibrate our models on a particular X, y pair. It also states clearly that data for fitting the classifier and for calibrating it must be disjoint. If they must be disjoint, is it legitimate to…

How does Genuino Arduino 101 Intel Curie Autocalibration (Ax Ay Az) process works?

I am reading the source code file CurieIMU.cpp#L409, made by Intel for Arduino/Genuino 101. I have some questions: How does auto-calibration work in this specific case? This is not very clear to me. Why the offset can be assumed to be linear? Is…

Why resizing an image in OpenCv decreases the reprojection error of a camera calibration?

I'm using OpenCv to calibrate a camera. Firstly, I was using the original resolution, but then I realize that if I resize the image (downsample) I could get a lower reprojection error. Why this happens?

Extrinsic camera calibration OpenCV

I am attempting to calibrate the extrinsics of four cameras that I have mounted on a set-up. They are pointing 90 degrees apart. I have already calibrated the intrinsic paramteres, and I am thinking of using an image of a calibration pattern to find…

Accelerometer and calibration - iPhone SDK

I need to use the functionality of an accelerometer in my iPhone game. I just have to move an image by tilting the device. However most videos on YouTube just show the tilt feature that is somehow inverted and forget to include the calibration. I…

Is the iPhone accelerometer calibrated? Gravity measurement changes depending on orientation

I'm doing some test with iPhone 4S accelerometer. If I take the raw data in Z-axis (telephone rest over desktop) I get an acceleration 9.65-9.70 m/s2 (after g conversion by 9.8261). But if i have the telephone resting over edge, the measurement of…
