CentralCamera

class CentralCamera(f: float | int | list[float | int] | tuple[float | int, ...] | ndarray = 1, distortion: ndarray | None = None, **kwargs)

Create central camera projection model

Parameters:

• f (float, optional) – focal length, defaults to 8mm

• distortion (array_like(5), optional) – camera distortion parameters, defaults to None

• kwargs – arguments passed to CameraBase constructor

A camera object contains methods for projecting 3D points and lines to the image plane, as well as supporting a virtual image plane onto which 3D points and lines can be drawn.
