CAMORPH: A TOOLBOX FOR CONVERSION BETWEEN CAMERA PARAMETER CONVENTIONS

Abstract

Defining or estimating camera poses and attributes is a vital part of computer graphics and computer vision. These areas encompass a vast amount of sub-fields like virtual reality, photogrammetry, computer generated imagery and many more. It is desirable to share this camera data between applications of these different areas to leverage their strengths in a workflow. However, a great amount of formats and conventions make it difficult to transport camera parameters from one software package to another. This paper presents an easy to use python library camorph to convert different formats into each other which enables the usage of a multi-software workflow for the best possible results and facilitates the comparison of different methods.
