Revision history [back]

For camera calibration you don't need to rotate a lot the chessboard pattern. Just keep it as straight as possible and try to stick it to the edges to properly calculate distorsion parameters, then also put the chessboard in "prespective" to obtain a good skew ratio correction. Rotation of the chessboard pattern is not necessary.
