Camera position estimation from 3D points

[K.Rothwell]

Locate a camera position based on 3D points.

Python might provide an easy way to go about this. I believe there is a lib through OpenCV that has the math already sorted out for Reverse Camera Projection.

I envision a tool similar to the align clouds tool; only you would select 3D points on the cloud and 2D points on a loaded image.

The user would pass through the intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters... distortion values, principal point, focal length.

I have used other software in the past to do this, but it seems CC would be much more enjoyable to use if it can be done.

Cheers,

Ah that's definitely doable... But it's a lot of work ;)
