\section{Camera Calibration and 3d Reconstruction}
The functions in this section use the so-called pinhole camera model. That
is, a scene view is formed by projecting 3D points into the image plane
using a perspective transformation.
\[
s \; m' = A [R|t] M'
\]
or
\[
s \vecthree{u}{v}{1} = \vecthreethree
{f_x}{0}{c_x}
{0}{f_y}{c_y}
{0}{0}{1}
\begin{bmatrix}
r_{11} & r_{12} & r_{13} & t_1 \\
r_{21} & r_{22} & r_{23} & t_2 \\
r_{31} & r_{32} & r_{33} & t_3
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}X\\Y\\Z\\1 \end{bmatrix}
\]
Where $(X, Y, Z)$ are the coordinates of a 3D point in the world
coordinate space, $(u, v)$ are the coordinates of the projection point
in pixels. $A$ is called a camera matrix, or a matrix of
intrinsic parameters. $(cx, cy)$ is a principal point (that is
usually at the image center), and $fx, fy$ are the focal lengths
expressed in pixel-related units. Thus, if an image from camera is
scaled by some factor, all of these parameters should
be scaled (multiplied/divided, respectively) by the same factor. The
matrix of intrinsic parameters does not depend on the scene viewed and,
once estimated, can be re-used (as long as the focal length is fixed (in
case of zoom lens)). The joint rotation-translation matrix $[R|t]$
is called a matrix of extrinsic parameters. It is used to describe the
camera motion around a static scene, or vice versa, rigid motion of an
object in front of still camera. That is, $[R|t]$ translates
coordinates of a point $(X, Y, Z)$ to some coordinate system,
fixed with respect to the camera. The transformation above is equivalent
to the following (when $z \ne 0$):
\[
\begin{array}{l}
\vecthree{x}{y}{z} = R \vecthree{X}{Y}{Z} + t\\
x' = x/z\\
y' = y/z\\
u = f_x*x' + c_x\\
v = f_y*y' + c_y
\end{array}
\]
Real lenses usually have some distortion, mostly
radial distortion and slight tangential distortion. So, the above model
is extended as:
\[
\begin{array}{l}
\vecthree{x}{y}{z} = R \vecthree{X}{Y}{Z} + t\\
x' = x/z\\
y' = y/z\\
x'' = x' (1 + k_1 r^2 + k_2 r^4 + k_3 r^6) + 2 p_1 x' y' + p_2(r^2 + 2 x'^2) \\
y'' = y' (1 + k_1 r^2 + k_2 r^4 + k_3 r^6) + p_1 (r^2 + 2 y'^2) + 2 p_2 x' y' \\
\text{where} \quad r^2 = x'^2 + y'^2 \\
u = f_x*x'' + c_x\\
v = f_y*y'' + c_y
\end{array}
\]
$k_1$, $k_2$, $k_3$ are radial distortion coefficients, $p_1$, $p_2$ are tangential distortion coefficients.
Higher-order coefficients are not considered in OpenCV. In the functions below the coefficients are passed or returned as
\[ (k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3]) \]vector. That is, if the vector contains 4 elements, it means that $k_3=0$.
The distortion coefficients do not depend on the scene viewed, thus they also belong to the intrinsic camera parameters.
\emph{And they remain the same regardless of the captured image resolution.}
That is, if, for example, a camera has been calibrated on images of $320
\times 240$ resolution, absolutely the same distortion coefficients can
be used for images of $640 \times 480$ resolution from the same camera (while $f_x$,
$f_y$, $c_x$ and $c_y$ need to be scaled appropriately).
The functions below use the above model to
\begin{itemize}
\item Project 3D points to the image plane given intrinsic and extrinsic parameters
\item Compute extrinsic parameters given intrinsic parameters, a few 3D points and their projections.
\item Estimate intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters from several views of a known calibration pattern (i.e. every view is described by several 3D-2D point correspondences).
\item Estimate the relative position and orientation of the stereo camera "heads" and compute the \emph{rectification} transformation that makes the camera optical axes parallel.
\end{itemize}

The points are 3D, but since they are in the pattern coordinate system, then if the rig is planar, it may have sense to put the model to the XY coordinate plane, so that Z-coordinate of each input object point is 0}

That is, each k-th rotation vector together with the corresponding k-th translation vector (see the next output parameter description) brings the calibration pattern from the model coordinate space (in which object points are specified) to the world coordinate space, i.e. real position of the calibration pattern in the k-th pattern view (k=0..\emph{M}-1)}

Otherwise, \texttt{(cx, cy)} is initially set to the image center (\texttt{imageSize} is used here), and focal distances are computed in some least-squares fashion. Note, that if intrinsic parameters are known, there is no need to use this function just to estimate the extrinsic parameters. Use \cvCross{FindExtrinsicCameraParams2}{solvePnP} instead.}
\cvarg{CV\_CALIB\_FIX\_PRINCIPAL\_POINT}{The principal point is not changed during the global optimization, it stays at the center or at the other location specified when \newline \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_USE\_INTRINSIC\_GUESS} is set too.}

\cvarg{CV\_CALIB\_ZERO\_TANGENT\_DIST}{Tangential distortion coefficients $(p_1, p_2)$ will be set to zeros and stay zero.}}
\end{description}
\end{description}
The function estimates the intrinsic camera
parameters and extrinsic parameters for each of the views. The
coordinates of 3D object points and their correspondent 2D projections
in each view must be specified. That may be achieved by using an
object with known geometry and easily detectable feature points.
Such an object is called a calibration rig or calibration pattern,
and OpenCV has built-in support for a chessboard as a calibration
rig (see \cvCross{FindChessboardCorners}{findChessboardCorners}). Currently, initialization
of intrinsic parameters (when \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_USE\_INTRINSIC\_GUESS}
is not set) is only implemented for planar calibration patterns
(where z-coordinates of the object points must be all 0's). 3D
calibration rigs can also be used as long as initial \texttt{cameraMatrix}
is provided.
The algorithm does the following:
\begin{enumerate}
\item First, it computes the initial intrinsic parameters (the option only available for planar calibration patterns) or reads them from the input parameters. The distortion coefficients are all set to zeros initially (unless some of \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_FIX\_K?} are specified).
\item The initial camera pose is estimated as if the intrinsic parameters have been already known. This is done using \cvCross{FindExtrinsicCameraParams2}{solvePnP}
\item After that the global Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm is run to minimize the reprojection error, i.e. the total sum of squared distances between the observed feature points \texttt{imagePoints} and the projected (using the current estimates for camera parameters and the poses) object points \texttt{objectPoints}; see \cvCross{ProjectPoints2}{projectPoints}.
\end{enumerate}
\ifPy
\else
The function returns the final re-projection error.
\fi
Note: if you're using a non-square (=non-NxN) grid and
\cvCppCross{findChessboardCorners} for calibration, and \texttt{calibrateCamera} returns
bad values (i.e. zero distortion coefficients, an image center very far from
$(w/2-0.5,h/2-0.5)$, and / or large differences between $f_x$ and $f_y$ (ratios of
10:1 or more)), then you've probably used \texttt{patternSize=cvSize(rows,cols)},
but should use \texttt{patternSize=cvSize(cols,rows)} in \cvCross{FindChessboardCorners}{findChessboardCorners}.

\texttt{rvec3} = \mathrm{rodrigues}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{rodrigues}(\texttt{rvec2}) \cdot
\mathrm{rodrigues}(\texttt{rvec1})\right) \\
\texttt{tvec3} = \mathrm{rodrigues}(\texttt{rvec2}) \cdot \texttt{tvec1} + \texttt{tvec2}
\end{array}, \]
where $\mathrm{rodrigues}$ denotes a rotation vector to rotation matrix transformation, and $\mathrm{rodrigues}^{-1}$ denotes the inverse transformation, see \cvCppCross{Rodrigues}.
Also, the functions can compute the derivatives of the output vectors w.r.t the input vectors (see \cvCppCross{matMulDeriv}).
The functions are used inside \cvCppCross{stereoCalibrate} but can also be used in your own code where Levenberg-Marquardt or another gradient-based solver is used to optimize a function that contains matrix multiplication.

For every point in one of the two images of a stereo-pair the function finds the equation of the
corresponding epipolar line in the other image.
From the fundamental matrix definition (see \cvCross{FindFundamentalMat}{findFundamentalMat}),
line $l^{(2)}_i$ in the second image for the point $p^{(1)}_i$ in the first image (i.e. when \texttt{whichImage=1}) is computed as:
\[ l^{(2)}_i = F p^{(1)}_i \]
and, vice versa, when \texttt{whichImage=2}, $l^{(1)}_i$ is computed from $p^{(2)}_i$ as:
\[ l^{(1)}_i = F^T p^{(2)}_i \]

If the output array dimensionality is larger, an extra 1 is appended to each point. Otherwise, the input array is simply copied (with optional transposition) to the output.
\cvC{\textbf{Note} because the function accepts a large variety of array layouts, it may report an error when input/output array dimensionality is ambiguous. It is always safe to use the function with number of points $\texttt{N} \ge 5$, or to use multi-channel \texttt{Nx1} or \texttt{1xN} arrays.}

An object is defined as a set of points given in a coordinate system. The function \cvCPyCross{POSIT} computes a vector that begins at a camera-related coordinate system center and ends at the \texttt{points[0]} of the object.

\end{description}
The block matching stereo correspondence algorithm, by Kurt Konolige, is very fast single-pass stereo matching algorithm that uses sliding sums of absolute differences between pixels in the left image and the pixels in the right image, shifted by some varying amount of pixels (from \texttt{minDisparity} to \texttt{minDisparity+numberOfDisparities}). On a pair of images WxH the algorithm computes disparity in \texttt{O(W*H*numberOfDisparities)} time. In order to improve quality and readability of the disparity map, the algorithm includes pre-filtering and post-filtering procedures.
Note that the algorithm searches for the corresponding blocks in x direction only. It means that the supplied stereo pair should be rectified. Vertical stereo layout is not directly supported, but in such a case the images could be transposed by user.

The graph cuts stereo correspondence algorithm, described in \cite{Kolmogorov03} (as \textbf{KZ1}), is non-realtime stereo correspondence algorithm that usually gives very accurate depth map with well-defined object boundaries. The algorithm represents stereo problem as a sequence of binary optimization problems, each of those is solved using maximum graph flow algorithm. The state structure above should not be allocated and initialized manually; instead, use \cvCPyCross{CreateStereoGCState} and then override necessary parameters if needed.

The function attempts to determine
whether the input image is a view of the chessboard pattern and
locate the internal chessboard corners. The function returns a non-zero
value if all of the corners have been found and they have been placed
in a certain order (row by row, left to right in every row),
otherwise, if the function fails to find all the corners or reorder
them, it returns 0. For example, a regular chessboard has 8 x 8
squares and 7 x 7 internal corners, that is, points, where the black
squares touch each other. The coordinates detected are approximate,
and to determine their position more accurately, the user may use
the function \cvCross{FindCornerSubPix}{cornerSubPix}.
\textbf{Note:} the function requires some white space (like a square-thick border, the wider the better) around the board to make the detection more robust in various environment (otherwise if there is no border and the background is dark, the outer black squares could not be segmented properly and so the square grouping and ordering algorithm will fail).

\]
is minimized. If the parameter \texttt{method} is set to the default value 0, the function
uses all the point pairs to compute the initial homography estimate with a simple least-squares scheme.
However, if not all of the point pairs ($srcPoints_i$,
$dstPoints_i$) fit the rigid perspective transformation (i.e. there
are some outliers), this initial estimate will be poor.
In this case one can use one of the 2 robust methods. Both methods,
\texttt{RANSAC} and \texttt{LMeDS}, try many different random subsets
of the corresponding point pairs (of 4 pairs each), estimate
the homography matrix using this subset and a simple least-square
algorithm and then compute the quality/goodness of the computed homography
(which is the number of inliers for RANSAC or the median re-projection
error for LMeDs). The best subset is then used to produce the initial
estimate of the homography matrix and the mask of inliers/outliers.
Regardless of the method, robust or not, the computed homography
matrix is refined further (using inliers only in the case of a robust
method) with the Levenberg-Marquardt method in order to reduce the
re-projection error even more.
The method \texttt{RANSAC} can handle practically any ratio of outliers,
but it needs the threshold to distinguish inliers from outliers.
The method \texttt{LMeDS} does not need any threshold, but it works
correctly only when there are more than 50\% of inliers. Finally,
if you are sure in the computed features, where can be only some
small noise present, but no outliers, the default method could be the best
choice.
The function is used to find initial intrinsic and extrinsic matrices.
Homography matrix is determined up to a scale, thus it is normalized so that
$h_{33}=1$.

\end{description}
The function returns the camera matrix that is either an exact copy of the input \texttt{cameraMatrix} (when \texttt{centerPrinicipalPoint=false}), or the modified one (when \texttt{centerPrincipalPoint}=true).
In the latter case the new camera matrix will be:
\[\begin{bmatrix}

0 && f_y && (\texttt{imgSize.height}-1)*0.5 \\
0 && 0 && 1

where $f_x$ and $f_y$ are $(0,0)$ and $(1,1)$ elements of \texttt{cameraMatrix}, respectively.
By default, the undistortion functions in OpenCV (see \texttt{initUndistortRectifyMap}, \texttt{undistort}) do not move the principal point. However, when you work with stereo, it's important to move the principal points in both views to the same y-coordinate (which is required by most of stereo correspondence algorithms), and maybe to the same x-coordinate too. So you can form the new camera matrix for each view, where the principal points will be at the center.

The function computes \cvCpp{and returns} the optimal new camera matrix based on the free scaling parameter. By varying this parameter the user may retrieve only sensible pixels \texttt{alpha=0}, keep all the original image pixels if there is valuable information in the corners \texttt{alpha=1}, or get something in between. When \texttt{alpha>0}, the undistortion result will likely have some black pixels corresponding to "virtual" pixels outside of the captured distorted image. The original camera matrix, distortion coefficients, the computed new camera matrix and the \texttt{newImageSize} should be passed to \cvCross{InitUndistortRectifyMap}{initUndistortRectifyMap} to produce the maps for \cvCross{Remap}{remap}.

\end{description}
The function computes the joint undistortion+rectification transformation and represents the result in the form of maps for \cvCross{Remap}{remap}. The undistorted image will look like the original, as if it was captured with a camera with camera matrix \texttt{=newCameraMatrix} and zero distortion. In the case of monocular camera \texttt{newCameraMatrix} is usually equal to \texttt{cameraMatrix}, or it can be computed by \cvCross{GetOptimalNewCameraMatrix}{getOptimalNewCameraMatrix} for a better control over scaling. In the case of stereo camera \texttt{newCameraMatrix} is normally set to \texttt{P1} or \texttt{P2} computed by \cvCross{StereoRectify}{stereoRectify}.
Also, this new camera will be oriented differently in the coordinate space, according to \texttt{R}. That, for example, helps to align two heads of a stereo camera so that the epipolar lines on both images become horizontal and have the same y- coordinate (in the case of horizontally aligned stereo camera).
The function actually builds the maps for the inverse mapping algorithm that is used by \cvCross{Remap}{remap}. That is, for each pixel $(u, v)$ in the destination (corrected and rectified) image the function computes the corresponding coordinates in the source image (i.e. in the original image from camera). The process is the following:
\[
\begin{array}{l}
x \leftarrow (u - {c'}_x)/{f'}_x \\
y \leftarrow (v - {c'}_y)/{f'}_y \\
{[X\,Y\,W]}^T \leftarrow R^{-1}*[x\,y\,1]^T \\
x' \leftarrow X/W \\
y' \leftarrow Y/W \\
x" \leftarrow x' (1 + k_1 r^2 + k_2 r^4 + k_3 r^6) + 2p_1 x' y' + p_2(r^2 + 2 x'^2) \\
y" \leftarrow y' (1 + k_1 r^2 + k_2 r^4 + k_3 r^6) + p_1 (r^2 + 2 y'^2) + 2 p_2 x' y' \\
map_x(u,v) \leftarrow x" f_x + c_x \\
map_y(u,v) \leftarrow y" f_y + c_y
\end{array}
\]
where $(k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3])$ are the distortion coefficients.
In the case of a stereo camera this function is called twice, once for each camera head, after \cvCross{StereoRectify}{stereoRectify}, which in its turn is called after \cvCross{StereoCalibrate}{stereoCalibrate}. But if the stereo camera was not calibrated, it is still possible to compute the rectification transformations directly from the fundamental matrix using \cvCross{StereoRectifyUncalibrated}{stereoRectifyUncalibrated}. For each camera the function computes homography \texttt{H} as the rectification transformation in pixel domain, not a rotation matrix \texttt{R} in 3D space. The \texttt{R} can be computed from \texttt{H} as
\[ \texttt{R} = \texttt{cameraMatrix}^{-1} \cdot \texttt{H} \cdot \texttt{cameraMatrix} \]
where the \texttt{cameraMatrix} can be chosen arbitrarily.

The function computes projections of 3D
points to the image plane given intrinsic and extrinsic camera
parameters. Optionally, the function computes jacobians - matrices
of partial derivatives of image points coordinates (as functions of all the
input parameters) with respect to the particular parameters, intrinsic and/or
extrinsic. The jacobians are used during the global optimization
in \cvCross{CalibrateCamera2}{calibrateCamera},
\cvCross{FindExtrinsicCameraParams2}{solvePnP} and \cvCross{StereoCalibrate}{stereoCalibrate}. The
function itself can also used to compute re-projection error given the
current intrinsic and extrinsic parameters.
Note, that by setting \texttt{rvec=tvec=(0,0,0)}, or by setting \texttt{cameraMatrix} to 3x3 identity matrix, or by passing zero distortion coefficients, you can get various useful partial cases of the function, i.e. you can compute the distorted coordinates for a sparse set of points, or apply a perspective transformation (and also compute the derivatives) in the ideal zero-distortion setup etc.

The class implements modified H. Hirschmuller algorithm \cite{HH08}. The main differences between the implemented algorithm and the original one are:
\begin{itemize}
\item by default the algorithm is single-pass, i.e. instead of 8 directions we only consider 5. Set \texttt{fullDP=true} to run the full variant of the algorithm (which could consume \emph{a lot} of memory)
\item the algorithm matches blocks, not individual pixels (though, by setting \texttt{SADWindowSize=1} the blocks are reduced to single pixels)
\item mutual information cost function is not implemented. Instead, we use a simpler Birchfield-Tomasi sub-pixel metric from \cite{BT96}, though the color images are supported as well.
\item we include some pre- and post- processing steps from K. Konolige algorithm \cvCPyCross{FindStereoCorrespondceBM}, such as pre-filtering (\texttt{CV\_STEREO\_BM\_XSOBEL} type) and post-filtering (uniqueness check, quadratic interpolation and speckle filtering)

See \texttt{stereo\_match.cpp} sample where some reasonably good \texttt{P1} and \texttt{P2} values are shown (like \texttt{8*number\_of\_image\_channels*SADWindowSize*SADWindowSize} and \texttt{32*number\_of\_image\_channels*SADWindowSize*SADWindowSize}, respectively).}

\end{description}
The method executes SGBM algorithm on a rectified stereo pair. See \texttt{stereo\_match.cpp} OpenCV sample on how to prepare the images and call the method.

\end{description}
The function estimates transformation between the 2 cameras making a stereo pair. If we have a stereo camera, where the relative position and orientation of the 2 cameras is fixed, and if we computed poses of an object relative to the fist camera and to the second camera, (R1, T1) and (R2, T2), respectively (that can be done with \cvCross{FindExtrinsicCameraParams2}{solvePnP}), obviously, those poses will relate to each other, i.e. given ($R_1$, $T_1$) it should be possible to compute ($R_2$, $T_2$) - we only need to know the position and orientation of the 2nd camera relative to the 1st camera. That's what the described function does. It computes ($R$, $T$) such that:
\[
R_2=R*R_1
T_2=R*T_1 + T,
\]
Optionally, it computes the essential matrix E:
\[
E=
\vecthreethree
{0}{-T_2}{T_1}
{T_2}{0}{-T_0}
{-T_1}{T_0}{0}
*R
\]
where $T_i$ are components of the translation vector $T$: $T=[T_0, T_1, T_2]^T$. And also the function can compute the fundamental matrix F:
\[F = cameraMatrix2^{-T} E cameraMatrix1^{-1}\]
Besides the stereo-related information, the function can also perform full calibration of each of the 2 cameras. However, because of the high dimensionality of the parameter space and noise in the input data the function can diverge from the correct solution. Thus, if intrinsic parameters can be estimated with high accuracy for each of the cameras individually (e.g. using \cvCross{CalibrateCamera2}{calibrateCamera}), it is recommended to do so and then pass \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_FIX\_INTRINSIC} flag to the function along with the computed intrinsic parameters. Otherwise, if all the parameters are estimated at once, it makes sense to restrict some parameters, e.g. pass \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_SAME\_FOCAL\_LENGTH} and \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_ZERO\_TANGENT\_DIST} flags, which are usually reasonable assumptions.
Similarly to \cvCross{CalibrateCamera2}{calibrateCamera}, the function minimizes the total re-projection error for all the points in all the available views from both cameras.

Obviously, any intermediate value yields some intermediate result between those two extreme cases.}
\cvarg{newImageSize}{The new image resolution after rectification. The same size should be passed to \cvCross{InitUndistortRectifyMap}{initUndistortRectifyMap}, see the \texttt{stereo\_calib.cpp} sample in OpenCV samples directory.

\end{description}
The function computes the rotation matrices for each camera that (virtually) make both camera image planes the same plane. Consequently, that makes all the epipolar lines parallel and thus simplifies the dense stereo correspondence problem. On input the function takes the matrices computed by \cvCppCross{stereoCalibrate} and on output it gives 2 rotation matrices and also 2 projection matrices in the new coordinates. The 2 cases are distinguished by the function are:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Horizontal stereo, when 1st and 2nd camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly along the x axis (with possible small vertical shift). Then in the rectified images the corresponding epipolar lines in left and right cameras will be horizontal and have the same y-coordinate. P1 and P2 will look as:
\[\texttt{P1}=
\begin{bmatrix}
f & 0 & cx_1 & 0\\
0 & f & cy & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
\]
\[\texttt{P2}=
\begin{bmatrix}
f & 0 & cx_2 & T_x*f\\
0 & f & cy & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
,
\]
where $T_x$ is horizontal shift between the cameras and $cx_1=cx_2$ if \texttt{CV\_CALIB\_ZERO\_DISPARITY} is set.
\item Vertical stereo, when 1st and 2nd camera views are shifted relative to each other mainly in vertical direction (and probably a bit in the horizontal direction too). Then the epipolar lines in the rectified images will be vertical and have the same x coordinate. P2 and P2 will look as:
\[
\texttt{P1}=
\begin{bmatrix}
f & 0 & cx & 0\\
0 & f & cy_1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
\]
\[
\texttt{P2}=
\begin{bmatrix}
f & 0 & cx & 0\\
0 & f & cy_2 & T_y*f\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
,
\]
where $T_y$ is vertical shift between the cameras and $cy_1=cy_2$ if \texttt{CALIB\_ZERO\_DISPARITY} is set.
\end{enumerate}
As you can see, the first 3 columns of \texttt{P1} and \texttt{P2} will effectively be the new "rectified" camera matrices.
The matrices, together with \texttt{R1} and \texttt{R2}, can then be passed to \cvCross{InitUndistortRectifyMap}{initUndistortRectifyMap} to initialize the rectification map for each camera.
Below is the screenshot from \texttt{stereo\_calib.cpp} sample. Some red horizontal lines, as you can see, pass through the corresponding image regions, i.e. the images are well rectified (which is what most stereo correspondence algorithms rely on). The green rectangles are \texttt{roi1} and \texttt{roi2} - indeed, their interior are all valid pixels.

Otherwise all the points are considered inliers.}
\end{description}
The function computes the rectification transformations without knowing intrinsic parameters of the cameras and their relative position in space, hence the suffix "Uncalibrated". Another related difference from \cvCross{StereoRectify}{stereoRectify} is that the function outputs not the rectification transformations in the object (3D) space, but the planar perspective transformations, encoded by the homography matrices \texttt{H1} and \texttt{H2}. The function implements the algorithm \cite{Hartley99}.
Note that while the algorithm does not need to know the intrinsic parameters of the cameras, it heavily depends on the epipolar geometry. Therefore, if the camera lenses have significant distortion, it would better be corrected before computing the fundamental matrix and calling this function. For example, distortion coefficients can be estimated for each head of stereo camera separately by using \cvCross{CalibrateCamera2}{calibrateCamera} and then the images can be corrected using \cvCross{Undistort2}{undistort}, or just the point coordinates can be corrected with \cvCross{UndistortPoints}{undistortPoints}.

The function transforms the image to compensate radial and tangential lens distortion.
The function is simply a combination of \cvCross{InitUndistortRectifyMap}{initUndistortRectifyMap} (with unity \texttt{R}) and \cvCross{Remap}{remap} (with bilinear interpolation). See the former function for details of the transformation being performed.
Those pixels in the destination image, for which there is no correspondent pixels in the source image, are filled with 0's (black color).
The particular subset of the source image that will be visible in the corrected image can be regulated by \texttt{newCameraMatrix}. You can use \cvCross{GetOptimalNewCameraMatrix}{getOptimalNewCameraMatrix} to compute the appropriate \texttt{newCameraMatrix}, depending on your requirements.
The camera matrix and the distortion parameters can be determined using
\cvCross{CalibrateCamera2}{calibrateCamera}. If the resolution of images is different from the used at the calibration stage, $f_x, f_y, c_x$ and $c_y$ need to be scaled accordingly, while the distortion coefficients remain the same.

The function is similar to \cvCross{Undistort2}{undistort} and \cvCross{InitUndistortRectifyMap}{initUndistortRectifyMap}, but it operates on a sparse set of points instead of a raster image. Also the function does some kind of reverse transformation to \cvCross{ProjectPoints2}{projectPoints} (in the case of 3D object it will not reconstruct its 3D coordinates, of course; but for a planar object it will, up to a translation vector, if the proper \texttt{R} is specified).

where undistort() is approximate iterative algorithm that estimates the normalized original point coordinates out of the normalized distorted point coordinates ("normalized" means that the coordinates do not depend on the camera matrix).
The function can be used both for a stereo camera head or for monocular camera (when R is \cvC{NULL}\cvPy{None}\cvCpp{empty}).
