Sergey Korol from OpenCV.ai emphasizes the critical role of camera calibration in computer vision. Cameras, with their inherent distortions, provide a mere representation of reality that can mislead AI models. By calibrating cameras using known calibration templates, developers and users can ensure accurate and reliable data for training and inference. The process involves estimating parameters, such as lens distortions, and correcting them programmatically. In complex cases, such as calibrating cameras mounted high or on a Mars rover, creative solutions like using surrounding objects or specific patterns are implemented. OpenCV.ai offers professional services in camera calibration, tailoring solutions to meet specific needs and requirements.
