SphericalCamera

class machinevisiontoolbox.Camera.SphericalCamera(**kwargs)

Create spherical camera projection model

Parameters:

kwargs – arguments passed to CameraBase constructor

The spherical camera is an idealization with a complete field of view that can be used to generalize all camera projection models.

__init__(**kwargs)

Abstract camera base class

Parameters:

• name (str, optional) – camera instance name, defaults to None

• camtype (str, optional) – camera projection type, defaults to ‘central’

• rho (scalar or array_like(2), optional) – pixel size, defaults to 1

• imagesize (int or array_like(2), optional) – image dimension in pixels, defaults to None

• sensorsize (array_like(2), optional) – image sensor size, defaults to None

• pp (array_like(2), optional) – principal point position, defaults to None

• noise (float, optional) – standard deviation of image plane projection noise, defaults to None

• pose (SE3, optional) – camera pose, defaults to None

• limits (array_like(4), optional) – bounds of virtual image plane [umin, umax, vmin, vmax], defaults to None

• labels (2-tuple of str, optional) – axis labels for virtual image plane, defaults to ('u', 'v')

• seed (int, optional) – random number seed for projection noise, defaults to None

Raises:

• TypeError – name must be a string

• TypeError – camtype must be a string

• ValueError – rho must be a 1- or 2-element vector

This abstract class is the base for all camera projection model classes. All baseclass constructors support these options.
