August 1st 2024, 6 – 9 PM (UTC+2)
In English Language / Online via Zoom
Recordings are available and accessible for one year after purchase.
This course is part of the VVVV Intermediate Program of Summer Season 2024.
This course is part of a Stride Bundle consisting of 5 courses all together.
This workshop is for anyone interested in augmented reality, ARUCO markers and camera calibration. The online workshop will familiarize you with the core concepts used in a computer vision-based calibration workflow. You will also learn how to apply these concepts in your own AR applications.
We will unveil the mysteries behind camera calibration concepts like Intrinsics, Extrinsics, Camera Matrices and more. Aiming for a good balance between theoretical concepts and practical applications, the workshop should leave you feeling comfortable with the most common computer vision-based calibration workflows, allowing you to impress your friends and colleagues at any party.
We will create two basic AR applications using Aruco markers. The result will serve you as the basis for your more sophisticated computer vision-based AR projects.
Course Outline
During this workshop, participants will learn how to:
- Calibrate your camera including best practices
- Store and reuse your calibration data
- Use camera calibration data to create AR projects
- Use ARUCO markers and calibration patterns to create AR projects
- Understand the concepts behind calibration
