<\/p>\n\nFor many applications it is more convenient to use coordinates of the object points given in another coordinate system. To get a rotation matrix and a translation vector, which are both needed to relate two coordinate system to each other, calibration is used. The extrinsic camera parameters define the orientation and translation of the camera coordinate system in reference to a given world coordinate system, which originates at the calibration pattern. To formulate the relation between the two camera coordinate system, let us introduce a new one, the so-called cyclopean view. This coordinate system has its origin in the middle of the baseline $\"$$ , so that the z-axis bisects the angle between the left and right optical axes, as illustrated in Figure 2.14<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The angle between the optical axes is 2 $\"$$ . The y-axis of the camera coordinate system has to be parallel. The relation between a point

\n $\"$$ can be written as<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\nTransforming the camera coordinate system into another one is useful when the camera is not oriented in an appropriate manner. Additionally, the coordinate system can be shared amongst different applications with different camera systems.<\/p>\n\n
