The effect of undistort is particularly noticeable, by the change in shape of the car hood at the bottom corners of the image.Ī common task in autonomous driving is to convert the vehicle’s camera view of the scene into a top-down “bird’s-eye” view. OpenCV provides cv2.undistort function, which transforms an image to compensate for radial and tangential lens distortion. These parameters will be fed to cv2.undistort function to correct for distortion on any image produced by the same camera.

These will then be used by the OpenCV cv2.calibrateCamera() to find the camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters from several views of a calibration pattern.

camera_cal, taken from different angles with the same camera, and we'll use them as input for camera calibration routine.Ĭv2.findChessboardCorners() attempts to determine whether the input image is a view of the chessboard pattern and locate the internal chessboard corners, and then cv2.drawChessboardCorners() draws individual chessboard corners detected.Īrrays of object points, corresponding to the location of internal corners of a chessboard, and image points, the pixel locations of the internal chessboard corners determined by cv2.findChessboardCorners(), are fed to cv2.drawChessboardCorners() which returns camera calibration and distortion coefficients. We have 20 images of a chessboard, located in. The OpenCV functions cv2.findChessboardCorners() and cv2.drawChessboardCorners() are used for image calibration.

#Front facing camera lens distortion software
In this project, I used OpenCV to write a software pipeline to identify the lane boundaries in a video from a front-facing camera on a car.
