Camera Parameters
Intrinsics
The is the projection matrix which turns camera coordinates to image coordinates.
It consists of the following:
- Focal Length \(f\) - this determines the field of view.
 - Image Center \(\mathbf{o} = (o_x, o_y)\) (also known as principal point)
 - Size of pixels \(\mathbf{s} = (s_x, s_y)\) (based on the resolution)
 - Axis skew \(s\) typically 0
 
The formula for this matrix is: \[ \begin{equation} M_{int} = \begin{bmatrix} f/s_x & s & o_x\\ 0 & f/s_x & o_y\\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \end{equation} \]
E.g. if your camera has a 90 deg FOV on each side and outputs a resolution of \(\displaystyle 256 \times 256\), then the intrinsic matrix should project \(\displaystyle (1,0,1)\) to \(\displaystyle (256, 0)\): \[ \begin{equation} M_{int} = \begin{bmatrix} 128/256 & 0 & 128/256\\ 0 & 128/256 & 128/256\\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \end{equation} \]
- Note you can also write \(\displaystyle f/s_x\) as \(\displaystyle f_x\), and similar for \(\displaystyle f_y\).
 
Extrinsics
This is the view matrix which encodes the camera's position and rotation.
Suppose the camera position is \(\mathbf{C}\) and rotation \(\mathbf{R}_c\).
\[ \begin{equation} M_{ext}= [\mathbf{R} | \mathbf{t}] = [\mathbf{R}_c^T | -\mathbf{R}_c^T \mathbf{C}] \end{equation} \]
