Optical and indoor camera calibration procedures are designed to derive
the internal characteristics of the imaging system (IOP) within
controlled environments. However, there might be a possibility that the
estimated parameters from an indoor camera calibration exercise are
different from those estimated through an in-situ calibration under
operational conditions. Therefore, it is always recommended to carry out
an in-situ camera calibration to evaluate the differences, if any,
between estimated IOP from in-situ and indoor calibration procedures.
The discussed evaluation measures in the previous section can be used to
quantify the differences between these IOP sets.
