Crate vision_calibration 

High-level entry crate for the calibration-rs camera calibration library.

This crate provides a unified API for camera calibration workflows:

• Single-camera intrinsics calibration (Zhang’s method with distortion)
• Single-camera intrinsics calibration with Scheimpflug tilt
• Single-camera hand-eye calibration (camera on robot arm)
• Multi-camera rig extrinsics calibration
• Multi-camera rig + hand-eye calibration

Quick Start

use vision_calibration::prelude::*;
use vision_calibration::planar_intrinsics::{step_init, step_optimize};

// Create calibration session
let mut session = CalibrationSession::<PlanarIntrinsicsProblem>::new();
session.set_input(dataset)?;

// Option 1: Step-by-step (recommended for inspection)
step_init(&mut session, None)?;
step_optimize(&mut session, None)?;

// Option 2: Pipeline function (convenience)
// run_planar_intrinsics(&mut session)?;

// Export results
let result = session.export()?;

Module Organization

High-Level Calibration Workflows

• session - Session framework (CalibrationSession, ProblemType)
• planar_intrinsics - Single-camera intrinsics (Zhang’s method)
• single_cam_handeye - Single camera + hand-eye calibration
• rig_extrinsics - Multi-camera rig extrinsics
• rig_handeye - Multi-camera rig + hand-eye
• laserline_device - Single camera + laser plane device
• scheimpflug_intrinsics - Single-camera planar intrinsics with Scheimpflug tilt

Foundation Crates (Advanced Users)

• core - Math types, camera models, RANSAC primitives
• linear - Closed-form initialization algorithms
• optim - Non-linear least-squares optimization
• synthetic - Synthetic data generation for testing

Session API

All calibration workflows use the session::CalibrationSession state container. Each problem type has its own set of step functions — see the table below and the per-module documentation for details.

The common pattern is:

1. Create a session for the problem type
2. Set input data with set_input
3. Optionally configure with update_config
4. Run the problem-specific step functions (or a convenience run_calibration)
5. Export results with export
