Hi List, I'm trying to run the "Camera Calibration Toolbox for Matlab"
http://www.vision.caltech.edu/bouguetj/calib_doc/ (in Mac OS X (Leopard) using MacPorts) with Octave and IMO been rather successful. Kudos to Octave, octave-forge and all the good people who support it. Basically, with very little hacking, I've been able to go through the whole camera calibration 'exercise'. One or two gremlins in the works though. 1) zoom on; In one or two places in the .m there is a statement: zoom on; which the octave forge (no op) compatibility function does not recognize No problem, I've just commented this out, but looking at the Toolbox instructions I suspect that this is used (under Matlab) to kind of "pause until right click" -effect. Can anyone tell me if this is so and suggest a Octave alternative. 2) rotate3d on; Kind of similar issue to 'zoom on', I've just commented this out and I can rotate the 3D plots no problem, but would like to know if I'm missing something when I'm not using this? 3) uicontrol I don't seem to be able to find 'uicontrol'. >From octave-forge web site I inferred this might be in 'jhandles' package (though the source code looked rather lacking in functionality but I did take deeper look). However MacPorts does not list jhandles as an available package. Anyway, uicontrol is not used extensively, it is merely used to generate a few buttons in a few windows to implement one or two menus and view point changes. Can any one suggest an alternative ui-kit/package or method to replace these with? 4) .m or .mat The camera calibration parameters are saved into a text file ('Calib_Results.mat") . Except that the code when run under Octave saved the file with the extension '.m' Have not investigated this in detail yet, but is there some incompatibility and if so any words of wisdom on this issue? ******* This (Camera Calibration Toolbox) is quite useful package for anyone interested in Camera Calibration and seems to be 99.9% compatible with Octave so I would like to make it 100% compatible with both Matlab and Octave. Any pointers to the right direction would be appreciated. I'm an old hand with coding and have some Matlab/Octave experience so I could probably figure this out by myself but would rather avoid the dead end or otherwise wrong approaches by asking here. br Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
