## Detailed Description

Simple data structure for camera information that includes the image size and camera intrinsic parameters.

To clarify the terminology used to describe 2D and/or 3D spaces throughout the class, we use "coordinate system" rather than "frame". This is because the term "frame" has two different meanings in the computer vision field: a synonym of coordinate system, and a snapshot out of consecutively captured images. To ensure the reader will not be confused, we clearly differentiate the use of the terms "coordinate system" and "frame" by using "coordinate system" to denote 2D/3D spaces and "frame" to denote a captured image.

There are three types of the coordinate systems that are relevant to this class:

• the camera coordinate system
• the image coordinate system
• the pixel coordinate system.

The camera coordinate system expresses a camera's 6D pose relative to the world coordinate system. The camera coordinate system is defined to be X-right, Y-down and Z-forward. The Z axis is also called the "optical axis". Note that each axis in the camera coordinate system is expressed in the upper case, like (X, Y, Z) to distinguish from those of the image coordinate system which we explain next.

The image coordinate system is the 2D coordinate system made by projecting the camera coordinate system onto the 2D image plane which is perpendicular to the "optical axis". Therefore, the direction of the each axis is x-right and y-down, and the origin of the image coordinate system is located at the crossing point between the 2D image plane and the "optical axis". This origin is called the "image center" or "principal point". Note that each axis in the image coordinate system is expressed in the lower case , like (x, y).

The pixel coordinate system is also a 2D coordinate system. The main differences between the pixel coordinate system and the image coordinate system are the location of the origin and the direction of the axes. The origin of the pixel coordinate system is at the left-upper corner of the image and the direction of the each axis is the same as those of the image coordinate system. The axes of the pixel coordinate system are expressed using u and v, therefore the axes directions are u-right and v-down.

 CameraInfo ( const CameraInfo & )

 CameraInfo ( CameraInfo && )

 CameraInfo ( int width, int height, double focal_x, double focal_y, double center_x, double center_y )

Constructor that directly sets the image size, center, and focal lengths.

Parameters
 width The image width in pixels, must be greater than zero. height The image height in pixels, must be greater than zero. focal_x The focal length x in pixels. focal_y The focal length y in pixels. center_x The x coordinate of the image center in the pixel coordinate system in pixels. center_y The y coordinate of the image center in the pixel coordinate system in pixels.
 CameraInfo ( int width, int height, double fov_y )

Constructor that sets the image size and vertical field of view fov_y.

We assume there is no image offset, so the image center (center_x, center_y) is equal to (width / 2, height / 2). We also assume the focal lengths focal_x and focal_y are identical. The horizontal field of view fov_x is calculated using the aspect ratio of the image width and height together with the vertical field of view:

  fov_x = 2 * atan(width / height * tan(fov_y / 2)).


This can be derived from the equations of the focal lengths:

  focal_x = width / 2 / tan(fov_x / 2)
focal_y = height / 2 / tan(fov_y / 2)


where focal_x / focal_y = 1.

Parameters
 width The image width in pixels, must be greater than zero. height The image height in pixels, must be greater than zero. fov_y The vertical field of view.
