Yeah, About The TV Thing…

So, I’ve made no progress on the camera calibration.  (Unless you want to consider failure progress because I now know more about what doesn’t work, in which case I’ve made tons and tons of progress…)  The cvCalibrateCamera2 function seems to have requirements that aren’t fully explained anywhere, except perhaps in error codes that are occasionally in Japanese.  I’m know I’m calling it wrong, but I have no idea how to call it right…   I think I’ll keep trying for a little bit longer and see if I can figure out what I’m missing.

If that doesn’t work out, then there is a slight change in strategy I’ve been considering.  You see, OpenCV has a function called “cvFindChessboardCorners”, and it is used to find the corners of a chessboard.  The corners of a chessboard are then used for calibration.  How is that going to help me, when I’m trying to find the edges of a TV and not the corners of a chessboard pattern?

Well, it’s not like Pong is the only Atari game I own or anything…
