Hi,

I recently ran the cameracalibrator.py node for a Logitech webcam and must've accidentally hit Commit while saving the calibration parameters; the images from the camera seem to have very short exposure rates (even on Cheese).

Is there a way to set an exposure or re-enable auto-exposure? Or a way to undo the Commit from the calibration node?

Thanks

The camera matrix, as written out by cameracalibrator.py is as follows:

Fx  0  Cx
0   Fy Cy
0   0   1

where Fx and Fy are the x and y focal lengths in pixels, and (Cx, Cy) is the principal point.

I was wondering if the parameters saved from running the cameracalibrator.py node contain the focal length/s of the camera somewhere inside. If not, is it possible to determine a focal length based on these values?

Thanks
