I'm currently trying to calibrate a camera and use those data to calibrate a projector. The first steps of this process start with printing a chessboard, generate chessboard calibration images and use them to calibrate the camera. Matlab documentation is quite thorough but it doesn't mention how one can generate its own chessboard calibration images. I can only assume this is a fairly simple thing to do but I'm new to Matlab so haven't figured out yet so any help would be greatly appreciated.
You generate the calibration images by taking pictures of the chessboard with your camera.
Also, if you have a recent version of MATLAB with the Computer Vision System Toolbox, try the Camera Calibrator app
