Recommended Average Reprojection Error

Post by aditya »

Hello All!

I wanted to know what range reprojection errors are good enough for a typical stereo setup. I get around 0.1 - 0.3 after calibration so I wanted to know if this is the general trend or not.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Aditya,

this depends on your camera resolution and lenses. For a 0.5 megapixel resolution and non-wide-angle lenses a value below 0.1 pixels indicates a very good calibration. For higher camera resolutions you must expect a larger error. Also, for wide angle lenses you will get higher errors due to the larger radial distortions. What lenses and resolution do you use?

Regards,
Konstantin

We use cameras with a resolution of 1600 x 896 i.e. 1.4 MP and a wide angle lens of focal length 6mm and a FOV of 96.8 x 79.4 degrees.

Hi Aditya,

96.8 x 79.4 is extreme wide angle (are you sure your FoV is this big?). At such configurations you need to expect somewhat higher reprojection errors. So I think you are within the range.
