extrinsic_calibrator

extrinsic_calibrator is a ROS2 package designed to extrinsically calibrate a set of cameras distributed throughout a room. The calibration is performed using ArUco markers “randomly” scattered through the environment. Each camera detects one or several ArUco markers within its field of view and the algorithm reconstructs the positions of the markers to create a global map. The positions of the cameras are then computed and incorporated into this aforementioned map.

This package is composed of two submodules:

1. extrinsic_calibrator_core with the extrinsic calibrator itself and an ArUco generator to simplify the usage.
2. extrinsic_calibrator_examples with some useful launch files to easily set up your cameras as well as a rviz visualizer node.
