Single-Camera Calibration for AI Vision Systems

Learn to calibrate monocular cameras with precision and confidence.

Build essential mathematical foundations and gain hands-on expertise in camera and sensor setup, image capture, and calibration techniques. Develop the real-world skills required to enhance AI vision accuracy across robotics, AR/VR, drones, and other intelligent systems.

Course Description

Camera calibration is a critical first step in most computer vision pipelines. In this hands-on course, you’ll master the complete process of monocular (single-camera) calibration using OpenCV and Python. You’ll start with camera geometry, move on to intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, explore calibration patterns, and learn to handle real-world challenges like distortion and reprojection error.

You will gain practical experience in collecting calibration data, evaluating accuracy, and building undistortion and pose estimation systems. With real-world projects and a deep dive into OpenCV functions like calibrateCamera, solvePnP, and undistort, you’ll walk away with job-ready skills to implement camera calibration in production AI systems.

Whether you’re a developer, researcher, robotics engineer, or computer vision enthusiast, this course will equip you with practical tools to fine-tune your visual systems for real-world deployment.
