Calibration.estimate_geometric_calibration

Calibration.estimate_geometric_calibration()

This method estimates an updated camera model using all stars identified in all images that are turned on.

For each turned on image in the camera attribute, this method provides the geometric_estimator with the matched_extracted_image_points, the matched_catalog_unit_vectors_camera, and optionally the matched_weights_picture if use_weights is True. The estimate() method is then called and the resulting updated camera model is stored in the model attribute. Finally, the updated camera model is used to update the following:

• matched_catalog_image_points

• queried_catalog_image_points

• unmatched_catalog_image_points

For a more thorough description of the calibration estimation routines see the calibration.estimators.geometric documentation.

Warning

This method overwrites the camera model information in the camera attribute and does not save old information anywhere. If you want this information saved be sure to store it yourself.

Return type:

None
